ARM: 5687/1: fix an oops with highmem
In xdr_partial_copy_from_skb() there is that sequence: kaddr = kmap_atomic(*ppage, KM_SKB_SUNRPC_DATA); [...] flush_dcache_page(*ppage); kunmap_atomic(kaddr, KM_SKB_SUNRPC_DATA); Mixing flush_dcache_page() and kmap_atomic() is a bit odd, especially since kunmap_atomic() must deal with cache issues already. OTOH the non-highmem case must use flush_dcache_page() as kunmap_atomic() becomes a no op with no cache maintenance. Problem is that with highmem the implementation of kmap_atomic() doesn't set page->virtual, and page_address(page) returns 0 in that case. Here flush_dcache_page() calls __flush_dcache_page() which calls __cpuc_flush_dcache_page(page_address(page)) resulting in a kernel oops. None of the kmap_atomic() implementations uses set_page_address(). Hence we can assume page_address() is always expected to return 0 in that case. Let's conditionally call __cpuc_flush_dcache_page() only when the page address is non zero, and perform that test only when highmem is configured.
