From: Krzysztof Mazur <krzysiek@xxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit 68accac392d859d24adcf1be3a90e41f978bd54c upstream. The commit f5f3497cad8c extended the low identity mapping. However, if the kernel uses more than 2 GB (VMSPLIT_2G_OPT or VMSPLIT_1G memory split), the normal memory mapping is overwritten by the low identity mapping causing a crash. To avoid overwritting, limit the low identity map to cover only memory before kernel range (PAGE_OFFSET).
