2.6.31-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org>

commit 7929eb9cf643ae416e5081b2a6fa558d37b9854c upstream.

Let's suppose a highmem page is kmap'd with kmap().  A pkmap entry is
used, the page mapped to it, and the virtual cache is dirtied.  Then
kunmap() is used which does virtually nothing except for decrementing a
usage count.

Then, let's suppose the _same_ page gets mapped using kmap_atomic().
It is therefore mapped onto a fixmap entry instead, which has a
different virtual address unaware of the dirty cache data for that page
sitting in the pkmap mapping.

Fortunately it is easy to know if a pkmap mapping still exists for that
page and use it directly with kmap_atomic(), thanks to kmap_high_get().

And actual testing with a printk in the added code path shows that this
condition is actually met *extremely* frequently.  Seems that we've been
quite lucky that things have worked so well with highmem so far.
