The patch titled
Proper fix for highmem kmap_atomic functions for VMI for 2.6.21
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
proper-fix-for-highmem-kmap_atomic-functions-for-vmi-for-2621.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Proper fix for highmem kmap_atomic functions for VMI for 2.6.21
From: Zachary Amsden <zach@xxxxxxxxxx>
Since lazy MMU batching mode still allows interrupts to enter, it is
possible for interrupt handlers to try to use kmap_atomic, which fails when
lazy mode is active, since the PTE update to highmem will be delayed. The
best workaround is to issue an explicit flush in kmap_atomic_functions
case; this is the only way nested PTE updates can happen in the interrupt
handler.
Thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge for noting the bug and suggestions on a fix.
This patch gets reverted again when we start 2.6.22 and the bug gets fixed
differently.
