kernel_ident_mapping_init() takes an exclusive memory range [pstart, pend) where pend is not included in the range, while res represents an inclusive memory range [start, end] where end is considered part of the range. Passing [start, end] rather than [start, end+1) to kernel_ident_mapping_init() may result in the identity mapping for the end address not being set up. For example, when res->start is equal to res->end, kernel_ident_mapping_init() will not establish any identity mapping. Similarly, when the value of res->end is a multiple of 2M and the page table maps 2M pages, kernel_ident_mapping_init() will also not set up identity mapping for res->end. Therefore, passing res->end directly to kernel_ident_mapping_init() is incorrect, the correct end address should be `res->end + 1`.

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.
