[PATCH] x86, early_ioremap: fix fencepost error
From: Alan Cox
Date: Fri Oct 10 2008 - 05:46:45 EST
The x86 implementation of early_ioremap has an off by one error. If we get
an object which ends on the first byte of a page we undermap by one page and
this causes a crash on boot with the ASUS P5QL whose DMI table happens to fit
this alignment.
The size computation is currently
last_addr = phys_addr + size - 1;
npages = (PAGE_ALIGN(last_addr) - phys_addr)
(Consider a request for 1 byte at alignment 0...)
Closes #11693
