Okay. I find the reason about this error.

page_address() is called in dma_direct_alloc() and it returns 'NULL'
since PageHighMem() for CMA memory returns 'true' after my patches
that manages CMA memory by using the ZONE_MOVABLE.

page_address()
{
if (!PageHighMem())
return lowmem_address()
try to find kmap mapping
if failed, return NULL
}

I assumed that the caller, who want to get the virtual address of the
page, calls the PageHighMem() and creates a new mapping if
PageHighMem() is 'true', but, it looks not true in this case. It knows
where the memory comes from so it directly call the page_address().
This usecase is valid so I should fix the issue on my side.

I have an idea to fix this case but I think that reverting the patches
is the best at this moment since there is not enough time to test a
new idea before the release.

My idea is to change the implementation of the PageHighMem() like as
below.

-#define PageHighMem(__p) is_highmem_idx(page_zonenum(__p))
+#define PageHighMem(__p) (page_to_pfn(__p) >= max_low_pfn)

And then, I will rename PageHighMem() to !PageDirectMapped().

Current PageHighMem() is mostly used to check if the direct mapping
exists or not. Until now, pages on the higher zones (ZONE_HIGHMEM,
ZONE_MOVABLE when ZONE_HIGHMEM is used) are not direct mapped so
previous implementation that checks higher zone implys the existence
of the direct mapping. However, with my patches, it's not true anymore
so implementation need to be changed.

With above idea that checks pfn rather than the zone type, existence
of the mapping can be determined correctly, regardless of the zone
where the pages are belong to. And, page_address() will work
correctly.

If someone has other opinion, please let me know.

Thanks.
