The patch titled slab: correctly handle __GFP_ZERO has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is slab-correctly-handle-__gfp_zero.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: slab: correctly handle __GFP_ZERO From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Use the correct local variable when calling into the page allocator. Local `flags' can have __GFP_ZERO set, which causes us to pass __GFP_ZERO into the page allocator, possibly from illegal contexts. The page allocator will later do prep_zero_page()->kmap_atomic(..., KM_USER0) from irq contexts and will then go BUG.
