Subject: drivers: char: mem: Fix wraparound check to allow mappings up to the end
From: Julius Werner <jwerner@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 32829da54d9368103a2f03269a5120aa9ee4d5da upstream.
A recent fix to /dev/mem prevents mappings from wrapping around the end
of physical address space. However, the check was written in a way that
also prevents a mapping reaching just up to the end of physical address
space, which may be a valid use case (especially on 32-bit systems).
This patch fixes it by checking the last mapped address (instead of the
first address behind that) for overflow.
