Date: Sat, 4 Jul 2009 11:09:50 +0900 From: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@...il.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: akpm@...ux-foundation.org Subject: [PATCH] mm: add gfp mask checking for __get_free_pages() __get_free_pages() with __GFP_HIGHMEM is not safe because the return address cannot represent a highmem page. get_zeroed_page() already has such a debug checking.
