From: Kan Liang <[email protected]> This reverts commit 74390aa55678 ("perf: Remove the extra validity check on nr_pages")
nr_pages equals to number of pages - 1 in perf_mmap. So nr_pages = 0 is valid. So the nr_pages != 0 && !is_power_of_2(nr_pages) are all needed for checking. Otherwise, for example, perf test 6 failed. # perf test 6 6: x86 rdpmc test :Error: mmap() syscall returned with (Invalid argument) FAILED!
