Subject: [PATCH 4/5] GFS2: BUG in gfs2_adjust_quota
Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2010 14:57:53 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1279202274-4418-5-git-send-email-swhiteho@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1279202274-4418-1-git-send-email-swhiteho@redhat.com>
From: Abhijith Das <adas@redhat.com>
HighMem pages on i686 do not get mapped to the buffer_heads and this was
causing a NULL pointer dereference when we were trying to memset page buffers
to zero.
We now use zero_user() that kmaps the page and directly manipulates page data.
This patch also fixes a boundary condition that was incorrect.
