Michael Roth 589959bf46 efi/unaccepted: Fix off-by-one when checking for overlapping ranges
[ Upstream commit 01b1e3ca0e ]

When a task needs to accept memory it will scan the accepting_list
to see if any ranges already being processed by other tasks overlap
with its range. Due to an off-by-one in the range comparisons, a task
might falsely determine that an overlapping range is being accepted,
leading to an unnecessary delay before it begins processing the range.

Fix the off-by-one in the range comparison to prevent this and slightly
improve performance.

Fixes: 50e782a86c ("efi/unaccepted: Fix soft lockups caused by parallel memory acceptance")

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.
