when trying to decode (the pfn) and map the object.
That happens because one architecture might not re-define
MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS, like in this ARM 32-bit w/ LPAE enabled example. For
32-bit systems, if not re-defined, MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS will
default to BITS_PER_LONG (32) in most cases, and, with PAE enabled,
_PFN_BITS might be wrong: which may cause obj variable to overflow if
frame number is in HIGHMEM and referencing a page above the 4GB
watermark.
commit 6e00ec00b1a7 ("staging: zsmalloc: calculate MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS if
not defined") realized MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS depended on SPARSEMEM headers
and "fixed" it by calculating it using BITS_PER_LONG if SPARSEMEM wasn't
used, like in the example given above.
Systems with potential for PAE exist for a long time and assuming
BITS_PER_LONG seems inadequate. Defining MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS looks better,
however it is NOT a constant anymore for x86.
SO, instead, MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS should be defined by every
architecture using zsmalloc, together with a sanity check for
MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS being too big on 32-bit systems.

Russel,
I have tried to place MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS in the best available
header for each architecture, considering different paging levels, PAE
existence, and existing similar definitions. Also, I have only
considered those architectures already having "sparsemem.h" header.
Would you mind reviewing it ?
Tks
