The changelog for commit 6a6dccba ("mm: cma: don't replace lowmem pages with highmem") mentioned that lowmem pages can be replaced by highmem pages during CMA migration. 6a6dccba fixed that issue. Quote from that changelog: : The filesystem layer expects pages in the block device's mapping to not : be in highmem (the mapping's gfp mask is set in bdget()), but CMA can : currently replace lowmem pages with highmem pages, leading to crashes in : filesystem code such as the one below: : : Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000400 : pgd = c0c98000 : [00000400] *pgd=00c91831, *pte=00000000, *ppte=00000000 : Internal error: Oops: 817 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM : CPU: 0 Not tainted (3.5.0-rc5+ #80) : PC is at __memzero+0x24/0x80 : ... : Process fsstress (pid: 323, stack limit = 0xc0cbc2f0) : Backtrace: : [<c010e3f0>] (ext4_getblk+0x0/0x180) from [<c010e58c>] (ext4_bread+0x1c/0x98) : [<c010e570>] (ext4_bread+0x0/0x98) from [<c0117944>] (ext4_mkdir+0x160/0x3bc) : r4:c15337f0 : [<c01177e4>] (ext4_mkdir+0x0/0x3bc) from [<c00c29e0>] (vfs_mkdir+0x8c/0x98) : [<c00c2954>] (vfs_mkdir+0x0/0x98) from [<c00c2a60>] (sys_mkdirat+0x74/0xac) : r6:00000000 r5:c152eb40 r4:000001ff r3:c14b43f0 : [<c00c29ec>] (sys_mkdirat+0x0/0xac) from [<c00c2ab8>] (sys_mkdir+0x20/0x24) : r6:beccdcf0 r5:00074000 r4:beccdbbc : [<c00c2a98>] (sys_mkdir+0x0/0x24) from [<c000e3c0>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x30) Memory-hotplug has same problem as CMA has so the same fix can be applied to memory-hotplug as well. Fix it by reusing.
