[PATCH 1/6] xen/arm: fix math in add_ext_regions
Posted by Stewart Hildebrand 5 months, 4 weeks ago
In commit f37a59813979, the arguments to add_ext_regions() were switched
from addresses to frame numbers. add_ext_regions() converts the frame
numbers back to addresses, but the end address (e) is rounded down to
page size alignment. The logic to calculate the size assumes e points to
the last address, not page, effectively leading to the region size being
erroneously calculated to be 2M smaller than the actual size of the
region.

Fix by adding 1 to the frame number before converting back to address.
