This is why page_to_phys() returns 0. page_to_phys() supposes to return page's physical address, which should just depend on this machine's physical address space, not related with page mapping. I understand physical address 0 might be valid, such as the 1st page frame of ram. > > You'll either need a local u64 variable, or use some other means > to handle that situation.

IMO, zero physical address case is the only corner case not covered by using 'phys_addr_t'. If phys_addr_t is 32bit, sum of page_to_phys(start_page) and offset shouldn't be >= 4G. Thanks, Ming
