Here is printouts with applying the new logic

[  382.222213] xen-pciback: 0000:06:00.0: write request 4 bytes at 0xc =
4000
[  382.222214] xen-pciback: 0000:06:00.0: read 1 bytes at 0xc
[  382.222228] xen-pciback: 0000:06:00.0: read 1 bytes at 0xc = 0
[  382.222238] xen-pciback: 0000:06:00.0: read 1 bytes at 0xd
[  382.222281] xen-pciback: 0000:06:00.0: read 1 bytes at 0xd = 0
[  382.222313] xen-pciback: 0000:06:00.0: read 1 bytes at 0xf
[  382.222341] xen-pciback: 0000:06:00.0: read 1 bytes at 0xf = 0

So from prints the logic is not equivalent. 0xd is included in this case.

In original logic field 0xd is excluded because
Not if ((req_start >= field_start && req_start < field_end)
Nor (req_end > field_start && req_end <= field_end))  evaluate to true.
Where request would be 4b segment starting with 0xc
While f (req_end >= field_start && field_end >= req_start) will evaluate
for true in this case.

Unless I am missing something...
