ARM: 7499/1: mm: Fix vmalloc overlap check for !HIGHMEM
With !HIGHMEM, sanity_check_meminfo checks for banks that completely or partially overlap the vmalloc region. The test for partial overlap checks __va(bank->start + bank->size) > vmalloc_min. This is not appropriate if there is a non-linear translation between virtual and physical addresses, as bank->start + bank->size is actually in the bank following the one being interrogated. In most cases, even when using SPARSEMEM, this is not problematic as the subsequent bank will start at a higher va than the one in question. However if the physical to virtual address conversion is not monotonic increasing, the incorrect test could result in a bank not being truncated when it should be. This patch ensures we perform the va-pa conversion on memory from the bank we are interested in, not the following one. Reported-by: ???
