Subject: [REVERT for 3.1-rc7] staging: zcache: revert "fix crash on high memory swap"
Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2011 10:37:23 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2ca31b06-eef9-49e4-beba-4959471b45d2@default> (raw)

Hi Greg --

Please revert the following commit, hopefully before 3.1 is released.
Although it fixes a crash in 32-bit systems with high memory,
the fix apparently *causes* crashes on 64-bit systems.  Not sure why
my testing didn't catch it before but it has now been observed in
the wild in 3.1-rc4 and I can reproduce it now fairly easily.
3.1-rc3 works fine, 3.1-rc4 fails, and 3.1-rc3 plus only this
commit fails.  Let's revert it before 3.1 and Seth and Nitin and I
will sort out a better fix later.

Thanks,

    staging: zcache: fix crash on high memory swap
    
    zcache_put_page() was modified to pass page_address(page) instead of the
    actual page structure. In combination with the function signature changes
    to tmem_put() and zcache_pampd_create(), zcache_pampd_create() tries to
    (re)derive the page structure from the virtual address.  However, if the
    original page is a high memory page (or any unmapped page), this
    virt_to_page() fails because the page_address() in zcache_put_page()
    returned NULL.
    
    This patch changes zcache_put_page() and zcache_get_page() to pass
    the page structure instead of the page's virtual address, which
    may or may not exist.
