Hmm,

static void set_page_reservations(bool set)
{
	int page;

	for (page = 0; page < MAX_PAGES; ++page) {
		void *addr = register_page_data + (PAGE_SIZE * page);

		if (set)
			SetPageReserved(virt_to_page(addr));
		else
			ClearPageReserved(virt_to_page(addr));
	}
}

static int __init trace_events_user_init(void)
{
	int ret;

	/* Zero all bits beside 0 (which is reserved for failures) */
	bitmap_zero(page_bitmap, MAX_EVENTS);
	set_bit(0, page_bitmap);

	register_page_data = kzalloc(MAX_EVENTS, GFP_KERNEL);

	if (!register_page_data)
		return -ENOMEM;

	set_page_reservations(true);

Beau,

Why are you reserving the page? Can't you just allocate a page and use that?

	page = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO, 0);
	register_page_data = page_address(page);

What was the purpose of setting it reserved?
