It was April 29th 2008 when commit 093a088b76352e0a6fdca84eb78b3aa65fbe6dd1 where the ext4_ext_zeroout() routine was introduced (it is this routine that makes use of the ZERO_PAGE macro expanding to an expression that contains a reference to the empty_zero_page global symbol). After this commit, the patches similar to the one found in this thread were made for several architectures. Apparently, MIPS has been overlooked. Dmitri
