[PATCH 1/3 v4] kexec: modify the meaning of the end parameter in kimage_is_destination_range()

From: Yuntao Wang
Date: Sat Dec 16 2023 - 07:06:12 EST


The end parameter received by kimage_is_destination_range() should be the
last valid byte address of the target memory segment plus 1. However, in
the locate_mem_hole_bottom_up() and locate_mem_hole_top_down() functions,
the corresponding value passed to kimage_is_destination_range() is the last
valid byte address of the target memory segment, which is 1 less.

There are two ways to fix this bug. We can either correct the logic of the
locate_mem_hole_bottom_up() and locate_mem_hole_top_down() functions, or we
can fix kimage_is_destination_range() by making the end parameter represent
the last valid byte address of the target memory segment. Here, we choose
the second approach.

Due to the modification to kimage_is_destination_range(), we also need to
adjust its callers, such as kimage_alloc_normal_control_pages() and
kimage_alloc_page().

v1->v2:
Fix this issue using the approach suggested by Eric and Baoquan.

As this patch is independent of the other patches in this series, I sent
out the v2 patch separately. If it's inconvenient for anyone, I can
resend the entire series again.

v2->v3:
Modify the assignment of eaddr as suggested by Baoquan.

v3->v4:
`eaddr = epfn << PAGE_SHIFT - 1` causes a compilation warning, fix it.
