Crash why?

Why is the padding not enough?

What is that supposed to exemplify: that range is 3T not 2 and that
range start is not at 2T but 28T. So I have absolutely no clue what
you're trying to explain here.

Please go back, take your time and structure your commit message like
this:

Problem is A.

It happens because of B.

Fix it by doing C.

(Potentially do D).

For more detailed info, see
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst, Section "2) Describe your
changes".

> This patch introduces adjustment the padding size if the default

Avoid having "This patch" or "This commit" in the commit message. It is
tautologically useless.

Also, do

$ git grep 'This patch' Documentation/process

for more details.

Why isn't this called max_phys_addr then?

Also, please explain what it means at the end of this file.

This piece has some ugly linebreaks which makes it impossible to read.
Perhaps because the variable names you're adding are too long.

You can carve it out in a separate function, for example.

This assignment is inside the loop and happens potentially a bunch of
times. Why?

Same problem: local variables with unnecessarily long names make the
code hard to read. Pls shorten.

Also, the types in that function are a total mess. An unsigned int which
you cast to unsigned long long and return an unsigned int again to add
into a sum with unsigned longs. Are you selecting the types randomly?
Why aren't you using plain unsigned longs like the rest of the file does
with memory addresses?

Also, this function could have a comment above it explaining what all
that threshold and actual and possible address arithmetic is supposed to
do.

Thx.
