x86/mm/mtrr: Fix MTRR lookup to handle an inclusive entry
When an MTRR entry is inclusive to a requested range, i.e. the
start and end of the request are not within the MTRR entry range
but the range contains the MTRR entry entirely:
range_start ... [mtrr_start ... mtrr_end] ... range_end
__mtrr_type_lookup() ignores such a case because both
start_state and end_state are set to zero.
This bug can cause the following issues:
1) reserve_memtype() tracks an effective memory type in case
a request type is WB (ex. /dev/mem blindly uses WB). Missing
to track with its effective type causes a subsequent request
to map the same range with the effective type to fail.
2) pud_set_huge() and pmd_set_huge() check if a requested range
has any overlap with MTRRs. Missing to detect an overlap may
cause a performance penalty or undefined behavior.
This patch fixes the bug by adding a new flag, 'inclusive',
to detect the inclusive case. This case is then handled in
the same way as end_state:1 since the first region is the same.
With this fix, __mtrr_type_lookup() handles the inclusive case
properly.
