[ Snipped the rest of it, which is just a consequence of oopsing
  there, then a repeat of this one on a different address ]

Good find!  Though surprising it's not been found before: something
for -stable I suspect.  Please don't take my signoff too seriously,
I cannot test this myself and it needs confirmation from DaveM...


Alexander Beregalov reports oops in __bzero() called from
copy_from_user_fixup() called from iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic(),
when running dbench on tmpfs on sparc64: its __copy_from_user_inatomic
and __copy_to_user_inatomic should be avoiding, not calling, the fixups.
