Subject: s390/vmem: fix identity mapping
From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit c34a69059d7876e0793eb410deedfb08ccb22b02 upstream.
The identity mapping is suboptimal for the last 2GB frame. The mapping
will be established with a mix of 4KB and 1MB mappings instead of a
single 2GB mapping.
This happens because of a off-by-one bug introduced with
commit 50be63450728 ("s390/mm: Convert bootmem to memblock").
Currently the identity mapping looks like this:
0x0000000080000000-0x0000000180000000 4G PUD RW
0x0000000180000000-0x00000001fff00000 2047M PMD RW
0x00000001fff00000-0x0000000200000000 1M PTE RW
With the bug fixed it looks like this:
0x0000000080000000-0x0000000200000000 6G PUD RW
