From e8ecde25f5e08f89b61d86c32bbb56b405e90c32 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2016 17:52:59 -0500 Subject: Make sure that highmem pages are not added to symlink page cache inode_nohighmem() is sufficient to make sure that page_get_link() won't try to allocate a highmem page. Moreover, it is sufficient to make sure that page_symlink/__page_symlink won't do the same thing. However, any filesystem that manually preseeds the symlink's page cache upon symlink(2) needs to make sure that the page it inserts there won't be a highmem one. Fortunately, only nfs and shmem have run afoul of that...
