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.
Reported-by: Francis Moreau <[email protected]> Reproduced-by: Dan Magenheimer <[email protected]> Thanks, Dan commit c5f5c4db393837ebb2ae47bf061d70e498f48f8c Author: Seth Jennings <[email protected]> Date: Wed Aug 10 12:56:49 2011 -0500 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.
