There's a number of such occurences that look suspicious:

triton:~/tip> git grep 'cpa->pfn.*<<.*PAGE_SHIFT' arch/x86/
arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c: set_pmd(pmd, __pmd(cpa->pfn << PAGE_SHIFT | _PAGE_PSE |
arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c: set_pud(pud, __pud(cpa->pfn << PAGE_SHIFT | _PAGE_PSE |
arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c: unsigned long laddr = (unsigned long)__va(cpa->pfn << PAGE_SHIFT);
arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c: unsigned long temp_cpa_vaddr = (cpa->pfn << PAGE_SHIFT) +

are you sure none of the code runs on 32-bit?

All this got introduced with:

| x86/mm/pat: Ensure cpa->pfn only contains page frame numbers

AFAICS.

Even if none of this is run on 32-bit, we should really fix it to be u64, because
the code is really bogus and the fix is easy ...

Thanks,
