4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 21fc61c73c3903c4c312d0802da01ec2b323d174 upstream. kmap() in page_follow_link_light() needed to go - allowing to hold an arbitrary number of kmaps for long is a great way to deadlocking the system. new helper (inode_nohighmem(inode)) needs to be used for pagecache symlinks inodes; done for all in-tree cases. page_follow_link_light() instrumented to yell about anything missed.
