The patch titled highmem: catch illegal nesting has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is highmem-catch-illegal-nesting.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: highmem: catch illegal nesting From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx> Catch illegally nested kmap_atomic()s even if the page that is mapped by the 'inner' instance is from lowmem. This avoids spuriously zapped kmap-atomic ptes and turns hard to find crashes into clear asserts at the bug site.
