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().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
