Subject: [BUG] hugetlb: sleeping function called from invalid context

Hi,

running the libhugetlbfs test suite I met the following bug:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/pagemap.h:294
in_atomic():1, irqs_disabled():0
CPU: 0 Not tainted 2.6.27-rc1 #3

While holding mm->page_table_lock, hugetlb_fault() calls hugetlbfs_pagecache_page(),
which calls find_lock_page(), which may sleep.

Thanks,
Gerald
