commit 0c7d7cc2b4fe2e74ef8728f030f0f1674f9f6aee upstream.

There are two problems with the current code of memory_intersects:

First, it doesn't check whether the region (begin, end) falls inside the
region (virt, vend), that is (virt < begin && vend > end).

The second problem is if vend is equal to begin, it will return true but
this is wrong since vend (virt + size) is not the last address of the
memory region but (virt + size -1) is. The wrong determination will
trigger the misreporting when the function check_for_illegal_area calls
memory_intersects to check if the dma region intersects with stext region.

The misreporting is as below (stext is at 0x80100000):

Refactor memory_intersects to fix the two problems above.

Before the 1d7db834a027e ("dma-debug: use memory_intersects()
directly"), memory_intersects is called only by printk_late_init:

printk_late_init -> init_section_intersects ->memory_intersects.

There were few places where memory_intersects was called.

When commit 1d7db834a027e ("dma-debug: use memory_intersects()
directly") was merged and CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG is enabled, the DMA
subsystem uses it to check for an illegal area and the calltrace above
is triggered.
