I've tried this (shot into the dark): > crash> struct page.pgmap fffff8c600181800 > pgmap = 0xfffff8c600181808 Does /proc/iomem show an active namespace in the range? You should be able to skip ahead to the first pfn in that namespace to find the first dev_pagemap. I would have expected pfn_to_online_page() to have saved you here. This address range is section aligned.
