[PATCH] mm: prep_zero_page() in irq is a bug
prep_zero_page() uses KM_USER0 and hence may not be used from IRQ context, at least for highmem pages. Cc: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Cc: Christoph Lameter <christoph@lameter.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
