After new memory blocks have been hotplugged, max_pfn and max_low_pfn
needs updating to reflect on new PFNs being hot added to system.

Thanks for the patch, Chris!

With this patch, the data in /proc/kpageflags appears to be correct and
memory tools like procrank work again on arm64 platforms.

Maybe we should add fixes tag, as it has been broken since the following
commit:
Fixes: abec749facff ("fs/proc/page.c: allow inspection of last section
and fix end detection")

Are you sure that that commit broke it?

Reverting the above commit also "fixes" kpageflags, otherwise
kpageflags_read() returns 0 in the following check:
	if (src >= max_dump_pfn * KPMSIZE)
		return 0;

I recall that we would naturally run into the limit, because

count = min_t(size_t, count, (max_pfn * KPMSIZE) - src);

The function returns before we reach this line.

Thanks,
Georgi

wouldn't really do what you would expect either. But you could 
force-read beyond max_pfn, yes, because the count computation was just 
weird.


I think the real issue is not properly adjusting max_pfn in the first 
place when we introduced memoruy hotplug on arm64
