[PATCH] fs/kernfs: raise sb->maxbytes to MAX_LFS_FILESIZE
From: Jane Chu
Date: Tue Nov 11 2025 - 15:55:12 EST
On an ARM64 A1 system, it's possible to have physical memory span
up to the 64T boundary, like below
$ lsmem -b -r -n -o range,size
0x0000000080000000-0x00000000bfffffff 1073741824
0x0000080000000000-0x000008007fffffff 2147483648
0x00000800c0000000-0x0000087fffffffff 546534588416
0x0000400000000000-0x00004000bfffffff 3221225472
0x0000400100000000-0x0000407fffffffff 545460846592
So it's time to extend /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap to be able
to account for >2G number of pages, by raising the kernfs file size
limit.
