commitcb7f4a8b1fupstream. In mtrr_type_lookup(), if the input memory address region is not in the MTRR, over 4GB, and not over the top of memory, a write-back attribute is returned. These condition checks are for ensuring the input memory address region is actually mapped to the physical memory. However, if the end address is just aligned with the top of memory, the condition check treats the address is over the top of memory, and write-back attribute is not returned. And this hits in a real use case with NVDIMM: the nd_pmem module tries to map NVDIMMs as cacheable memories when NVDIMMs are connected. If a NVDIMM is the last of the DIMMs, the performance of this NVDIMM becomes very low since it is aligned with the top of memory and its memory type is uncached-minus. Move the input end address change to inclusive up into mtrr_type_lookup(), before checking for the top of memory in either mtrr_type_lookup_{variable,fixed}() helpers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
