You're sure it's inside of the pte_offset_map_lock()?
It's probably this call chain:
pte_offset_map_lock()
pte_offset_map()
pmd_page()
pfn_to_page()
__pfn_to_section()
__nr_to_section()
I'd probably take a hard look at the PMD first to make sure it looks
good. Then, maybe go through some of the conversions in
pte_offset_map_lock() from that chain and print out each step inside of
smaps_pte_range(). Can you trigger it easily?
