Thanks for verifying! Hah, there is one piece missing to reproduce via
"cat /proc/kpageflags > /dev/null" that I ignored on my QEMU cmdline (see b=
elow)

I can reproduce it reliably (QEMU with "-m 4160M") via

To reproduce via "cat /proc/kpageflags > /dev/null", you have to
hot/coldplug one DIMM, to move max_pfn beyond the garbage memmap
(see also patch #2). My QEMU cmdline with Fedora 31:

qemu-system-x86_64 \
    --enable-kvm \
    -m 4160M,slots=3D4,maxmem=3D8G \

Some things that might be relevant from my config.

# CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING is not set
CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT=3Dy
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME=3Dy
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_ENABLE=3Dy
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=3Dy
CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP=3Dy
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=3Dy
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE=3Dy
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE=3Dy

The F31 default config should make it trigger.


Will update this patch description - thanks!
