This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled riscv: set max_pfn to the PFN of the last page to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: riscv-set-max_pfn-to-the-pfn-of-the-last-page.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From c749bb2d554825e007cbc43b791f54e124dadfce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Chen <vincent.chen@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2020 14:59:24 +0800 Subject: riscv: set max_pfn to the PFN of the last page From: Vincent Chen <vincent.chen@xxxxxxxxxx> commit c749bb2d554825e007cbc43b791f54e124dadfce upstream. The current max_pfn equals to zero. In this case, I found it caused users cannot get some page information through /proc such as kpagecount in v5.6 kernel because of new sanity checks.
