Both of the callers you mentioned do: firmware_map_add_hotplug(start, start + size - 1, "System RAM"); or firmware_map_add_early(entry->addr, entry->addr + entry->size - 1, e820_type_to_string(entry->type)); So it seems a _bit_ silly to keep all of the callers doing this size-1 thing. I also noted that the new caller that you added does the same thing. Could we just change the external calling convention to be exclusive? BTW, this patch should probably be first in your series. It's a real bugfix.

There are two ways to create /sys/firmware/memmap/X sysfs: - firmware_map_add_early When the system starts, it is calledd from e820_reserve_resources() - firmware_map_add_hotplug When the memory is hot plugged, it is called from add_memory() But these functions are called without unifying value of end argument as below: - end argument of firmware_map_add_early() : start + size - 1 - end argument of firmware_map_add_hogplug() : start + size The patch unifies them to "start + size - 1".
