Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-3.0 3/4] tests: only update last_byte when at the edge
Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2018 20:33:04 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180723123305.24792-4-peterx@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180723123305.24792-1-peterx@redhat.com>

The only possible change of last_byte is when it reaches the edge.
Setting it every time might let last_byte contain an invalid data when
memory corruption is detected, then the check of the next byte will be
incorrect.  For example, a single page corruption at address 0x14ad000
will also lead to a "fake" corruption at 0x14ae000:

  Memory content inconsistency at 14ad000 first_byte = 44 last_byte = 44 current = ef hit_edge = 0
  Memory content inconsistency at 14ae000 first_byte = 44 last_byte = ef current = 44 hit_edge = 0

After the patch, it'll only report the corrputed page:

  Memory content inconsistency at 14ad000 first_byte = 44 last_byte = 44 current = ef hit_edge = 0
