The current max_pfn equals to zero. In this case, it caused users cannot
get some page information through /proc such as kpagecount. The following
message is displayed by stress-ng test suite with the command
"stress-ng --verbose --physpage 1 -t 1".
# stress-ng --verbose --physpage 1 -t 1
stress-ng: error: [1691] physpage: cannot read page count for address 0x134ac000 in /proc/kpagecount, errno=22 (Invalid argument)
stress-ng: error: [1691] physpage: cannot read page count for address 0x7ffff207c3a8 in /proc/kpagecount, errno=22 (Invalid argument)
stress-ng: error: [1691] physpage: cannot read page count for address 0x134b0000 in /proc/kpagecount, errno=22 (Invalid argument)
...
After applying this patch, the kernel can pass the test.
# stress-ng --verbose --physpage 1 -t 1
stress-ng: debug: [1701] physpage: [1701] started (instance 0 on CPU 3)
stress-ng: debug: [1701] physpage: [1701] exited (instance 0 on CPU 3)
stress-ng: debug: [1700] physpage: [1701] terminated (success)
