zero_user_segments() is used from __block_write_begin_int(), for example like the following zero_user_segments(page, 4096, 1024, 512, 918) But new zero_user_segments() implements for HIGMEM + TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE doesn't handle "start > end" case correctly, and hits BUG_ON(). (we can fix __block_write_begin_int() instead though, it is the old and multiple usage) Also it calls kmap_atomic() unnecessary while start == end == 0.
