4.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Krzysztof Mazur <[email protected]> commit 68accac392d859d24adcf1be3a90e41f978bd54c upstream. The commit f5f3497cad8c extended the low identity mapping. However, if the kernel uses more than 2 GB (VMSPLIT_2G_OPT or VMSPLIT_1G memory split), the normal memory mapping is overwritten by the low identity mapping causing a crash. To avoid overwritting, limit the low identity map to cover only memory before kernel range (PAGE_OFFSET).
