Hi, Bibo,

The current max_pfn equals to zero. In this case, it caused users cannot
get some page information through /proc such as kpagecount. The following
message is displayed by stress-ng test suite with the command
"stress-ng --verbose --physpage 1 -t 1".

# stress-ng --verbose --physpage 1 -t 1
stress-ng: error: [1691] physpage: cannot read page count for address 0x134ac000 in /proc/kpagecount, errno=22 (Invalid argument)

stress-ng: error: [1691] physpage: cannot read page count for address 0x134b0000 in /proc/kpagecount, errno=22 (Invalid argument)

After applying this patch, the kernel can pass the test.
# stress-ng --verbose --physpage 1 -t 1
stress-ng: debug: [1701] physpage: [1701] started (instance 0 on CPU 3)
stress-ng: debug: [1701] physpage: [1701] exited (instance 0 on CPU 3)
stress-ng: debug: [1700] physpage: [1701] terminated (success)

I think this patch are mainly fix commit
ff6c3d81f2e86b63a3a530683f89ef39 ("NUMA: optimize detection of memory
with no node id assigned by firmware"). So it is better to add a
Fixes: tag and Cc stable.

And the patch itself can be improved. there are three cases of
calculating max_low_pfn:
ACPI with NUMA, handled in numa.c
ACPI without NUMA, handled in mem.c
FDT, handled in setup.c

You have missed the 2nd case. The simplest way is add "max_pfn =
max_low_pfn" at the beginning of arch_mem_init() because all cases can
be handled here.
yes, that is actually one problem:) Will do this simply in arch_mem_init() in next patch.
