[PATCH 3/5] x86/MTRR: Remove wrong address check in __mtrr_type_lookup()

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Mon May 11 2015 - 04:18:20 EST


From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@xxxxxx>

__mtrr_type_lookup() checks MTRR fixed ranges when mtrr_state.have_fixed
is set and start is less than 0x100000. However, the 'else if (start
< 0x1000000)' in the code checks with a wrong address as it has an
extra-zero in the address. The code still runs correctly as this check
is meaningless, though.

This patch replaces the wrong address check with 'else' with no
condition.
