create_physical_mapping expects physical addresses, but creating and splitting these mappings after boot is supplying virtual (effective) addresses. This can be irritated by booting with mem= to limit memory then probing an unused physical memory range: echo <addr> > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe This mostly works by accident, firstly because __va(__va(x)) == __va(x) so the virtual address does not get corrupted. Secondly because pfn_pte masks out the upper bits of the pfn beyond the physical address limit, so a pfn constructed with a 0xc000000000000000 virtual linear address will be masked back to the correct physical address in the pte.
