From 21fc61c73c3903c4c312d0802da01ec2b323d174 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2015 01:07:57 -0500 Subject: don't put symlink bodies in pagecache into highmem kmap() in page_follow_link_light() needed to go - allowing to hold an arbitrary number of kmaps for long is a great way to deadlocking the system. new helper (inode_nohighmem(inode)) needs to be used for pagecache symlinks inodes; done for all in-tree cases. page_follow_link_light() instrumented to yell about anything missed.
