x86's alloc_node_data() rounds up node data size to PAGE_SIZE. It's not explained why it's needed, but it's most likely for performance reasons, since the padding bytes are not used anywhere. Some other architectures do it as well, e.g., mips rounds it up to the cache line size. kmsan_init_shadow() initializes metadata for each node data and assumes the x86 rounding, which does not match other architectures. This may cause the range end to overshoot the end of available memory, in turn causing virt_to_page_or_null() in kmsan_init_alloc_meta_for_range() to return NULL, which leads to kernel panic shortly after. Since the padding bytes are not used, drop the rounding.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
