------------------------------------------------------ From: Colin Ian King colin.king@canonical.com Subject: mm/page_idle.c: fix oops because end_pfn is larger than max_pfn

Currently the calcuation of end_pfn can round up the pfn number to more than the actual maximum number of pfns, causing an Oops. Fix this by ensuring end_pfn is never more than max_pfn.

This can be easily triggered when on systems where the end_pfn gets rounded up to more than max_pfn using the idle-page stress-ng stress test:

sudo stress-ng --idle-page 0
