Lovely... So you somehow getting a highmem page out
page = read_cache_page(&inode->i_data, 0,
(filler_t *)nfs_symlink_filler, inode);
if (IS_ERR(page))
return ERR_CAST(page);
and that - after
inode_nohighmem(inode);
(otherwise you wouldn't get nfs_symlink_inode_operations on that inode).
Could you add
printk(KERN_ERR "i_data = %p, i_mapping = %p, flags: %lx\n",
&inode->i_data,
inode->i_mapping,
(unsigned long)inode->i_data.flags);
right before the return from nfs_get_link() and see what it prints?
