Why would it be passing size == 0 to apply_to_page_range()? Again, that sounds like a problem that we _want_ to know about since it is probably the result of buggy code and this patch would be covering it up. Please elaborate on the problem that you are seeing, preferably with a stack trace of the BUG so we can fix the problem instead of papering over it.
