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).

* Can you please post disassembly of the whole function?  It seems
  like rsv->regions[] was corrupt.  I want to verify other registers
  too.

* Can you please try the following patch?

Thanks.
