[Qemu-devel] [PULL 6/7] tests: only update last_byte when at the edge

Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PULL 6/7] tests: only update last_byte when at the edge

From: Peter Xu <address@hidden>

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
