From: George Guo <guodongtai at kylinos.cn>
KHO_TREE_MAX_DEPTH is calculated as:
DIV_ROUND_UP(KHO_ORDER_0_LOG2 - KHO_BITMAP_SIZE_LOG2,
KHO_TABLE_SIZE_LOG2) + 1
For systems with 16KB pages (e.g. LoongArch), this gives a depth of 4,
with the top-level shift at bit 39. The order-0 bit sits at bit 50
(KHO_ORDER_0_LOG2 = 64 - PAGE_SHIFT = 50). When inserting or reading
a key, the index extracted at the top level is:
(1 << 50) >> 39 = 2048
2048 is exactly the table size (PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(phys_addr_t) = 2048
for 16KB pages), so it wraps to 0, aliasing the order bit to index 0
and losing it silently.
On the second kernel, kho_radix_decode_key() sees a key without the
order bit, calls fls64() on the wrong bit, computes a wrong order and
thus a garbage physical address. phys_to_page() of that address faults
in kho_preserved_memory_reserve(), causing a kernel panic early in boot.
Fix by adding +1 to the DIV_ROUND_UP numerator so the formula accounts
for the order bit itself, giving depth 5 for 16KB pages. The top-level
shift becomes 50, and (1 << 50) >> 50 = 1, which is nonzero and
unambiguous. For 4KB and 64KB page sizes the depth is unchanged.
