SubjectRe: [PATCH] arm64: mm: fix max_mapnr is assigned the wrong value
Hi Catalin,

Thanks for your reply. In fact, I didn't hit any problem. I just read the code
and found the problem. I see max_mapnr is to only be used in the
generic pfn_valid().
As you said, we do not use it on arm64. So in a sense, the patch is
meaningless.

But I think since it is a problem, why not fix it (Even if max_mapnr
is not be used)?
What is your opinion?
