You should use MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS. E.g. on x86_64, MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS is 52, while MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS is (pgtable_l5_enabled() ? 52 : 46) - so MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS depends on the actual HW. > +int check_hotplug_memory_addressable(u64 start, u64 size) > +{ > +#ifdef MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS > + if ((start + size - 1) >> MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS) > + return -E2BIG; > +#endif > + > + return 0; > +} > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(check_hotplug_memory_addressable); > + > static int check_hotplug_memory_range(u64 start, u64 size) > { > /* memory range must be block size aligned */ > @@ -1040,7 +1057,7 @@ static int check_hotplug_memory_range(u64 start, u64 size) > return -EINVAL; > } > > - return 0; > + return check_hotplug_memory_addressable(start, size); > } > > static int online_memory_block(struct memory_block *mem, void *arg) > -- Thanks, David / dhildenb
