From: Steven Rostedt The kernel doc of mtree_insert_range() does not state if the address represented by the "last" parameter is inclusive or exclusive. This can lead to bugs by code that assumes it is exclusive. Explicitly state that the parameter is inclusive, and add '[' and ']' around the word "end" to also stress this point.
