IIUC it seems that the original 'p_end = p + PAGE_SIZE' assignment is buggy, because:

1309                 if (!cpu_has_pse) {
1310                         next = (addr + PAGE_SIZE) & PAGE_MASK;
1311                         pmd = vmemmap_pmd_populate(pud, addr, node);
1312 
1313                         if (!pmd)
1314                                 return -ENOMEM;
1315 
1316                         p = vmemmap_pte_populate(pmd, addr, node);
1317 
1318                         if (!p)
1319                                 return -ENOMEM;
1320 
1321                         addr_end = addr + PAGE_SIZE;
1322                         p_end = p + PAGE_SIZE;

The return value of vmemmap_pte_populate() is the virtual address of pte, not the allocated
virtual address, which is different from vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() in cpu_has_pse case, so
the addition PAGE_SIZE in !cpu_has_pse case is nonsense.

Or am I missing something?

thanks,
