Sumit, I did not see a follow up on this series per your last email.[1] I'd like to move forward with getting rid of kmap_to_page(). So Hopefully this can land and you can build on this rather than the other way around? All, Al Viro found[2] that kmap_to_page() is broken. But not only is it broken, it presents confusion over how highmem should be used because kmap() and friends should not be used for 'long term' mappings. get_kernel_pages() is a caller of kmap_to_page(). It only has one caller [shm_get_kernel_pages()] which does not need the functionality. Alter shm_get_kernel_pages() to no longer call get_kernel_pages() and remove get_kernel_pages(). Along the way it was noted that shm_get_kernel_pages() does not have any need to support vmalloc'ed addresses either. Remove that functionality to clean up the logic. This series also fixes is_kmap_addr() and uses it to ensure no kmap addresses slip in later.
