[PATCH] prep_zero_page: remove bogus BUG_ON

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



2.6.11 gave __GFP_ZERO's prep_zero_page a bogus "highmem may have to wait"
assertion.  Presumably added under the misconception that clear_highpage
uses nonatomic kmap; but then and now it uses kmap_atomic, so no problem.

No need for this one in -stable: nobody hit it but me in making other changes.
