This is a post-2.6.24 regression.

The app does a lot of route management stuff.

This backtrace is a mess.

They all are.

afacit what's happened is that someone is running __alloc_pages(...,
__GFP_ZERO) from softirq context.  But the __GFP_ZERO implementation uses
KM_USER0 which cannot be used from softirq context because non-interrupt
code on this CPU might be using the same kmap slot.

Can anyone thing of anything which recently changed in either networking
core or e1000e which would have triggered this?

I think the core MM code is being doubly dumb here.

a) We should be able to use __GFP_ZERO from all copntexts.

b) it's not a highmem page anyway, so we won't be using that kmap slot.

Pawel, can you please confirm that this:

fixes it?

Thanks.
