This bug is caused from here.

static inline struct mem_section *__nr_to_section(unsigned long nr)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME
        if (!mem_section)
                return NULL;
#endif
        if (!mem_section[SECTION_NR_TO_ROOT(nr)]) <-------- BUG
                return NULL;
        return &mem_section[SECTION_NR_TO_ROOT(nr)][nr & SECTION_ROOT_MASK];
}

static inline struct mem_section *__pfn_to_section(unsigned long pfn)
{
        return __nr_to_section(pfn_to_section_nr(pfn));
}

#define __pfn_to_page(pfn)                              \
({      unsigned long __pfn = (pfn);                    \
        struct mem_section *__sec = __pfn_to_section(__pfn);    \
        __section_mem_map_addr(__sec) + __pfn;          \
})

which is called via hugetlb_advanced_tests().

paddr = (__pfn_to_phys(pfn) | RANDOM_ORVALUE) & PMD_MASK;
pte = pte_mkhuge(mk_pte(pfn_to_page(PHYS_PFN(paddr)), prot));

Primary reason being RANDOM_ORVALUE, which is added to the paddr before
being masked with PMD_MASK. This clobbers up the pfn value which cannot
be searched in relevant memory sections. This problem stays hidden on
other configs where pfn_to_page() does not go via memory section search.
Dropping off RANDOM_ORVALUE solves the problem. Probably, just wanted to
drop that off during V2 series (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/4/8/997) but
dont remember why ended up keeping it again.
