Can you please verify that you are using "usable" memory for your memmap?  All

Sure.

This is the BIOS E820 info in the guest:

e820: BIOS-provided physical RAM map:

So that the memory we used to emulate PMEM split the 'usable' region.


My guess is that Boaz was correct, and that your memmap is off using addresses
that don't actually map to memory.

I do not think so. :(

I did mmap-write and mmap-read test, the data written by mmap-write can be
correctly read out, so that the backend memory is really existing.

Thanks!
