Hi all,

I'm seeing the following when booting a KVM guest with 65gb of RAM, on latest linux-next.

Note that it happens with numa=off.

[    0.000000] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff88102febd948
[    0.000000] IP: [<ffffffff836a6f37>] __next_free_mem_range+0x9b/0x155
Can you map it back to the source line please?
mm/memblock.c:583

                       phys_addr_t r_start = ri ? r[-1].base + r[-1].size : 0;
 97:   85 d2                   test   %edx,%edx
 99:   74 08                   je     a3 <__next_free_mem_range+0xa3>
 9b:   49 8b 48 f0             mov    -0x10(%r8),%rcx
 9f:   49 03 48 e8             add    -0x18(%r8),%rcx

It's the deref on 9b (r8=ffff88102febd958).
that reserved.region is allocated by memblock.

can you boot with "memblock=debug debug ignore_loglevel" and post
whole boot log?

Thanks

Yinghai
