In my case it is a bgrt buffer: efi: mem00: [Boot Data |RUN| | | | | | | |WB|WT|WC|UC] range=[0x00000000d2c41000-0x00000000d2c85fff] (0MB) Use "add_efi_memmap" can workaround the problem with another fix: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/30/5 In zero_resv_unavail it would be better to check pfn_valid first before zero the page struct. This fixes the problem and potential other similar problems.
