If pfn is outside zone boundaries in the first round, ret will be set to 1. But if pfn is changed to inside the zone boundaries in zone span seqretry path, ret is still set to 1 leading to false page outside zone error info. This is from code inspection. The race window should be really small thus hard to trigger in real world.

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 Restructured Text 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.
