------------------------------------------------------ From: OGAWA Hirofumi hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp Subject: mm/highmem.c: fix zero_user_segments() with start > end
zero_user_segments() is used from __block_write_begin_int(), for example like the following
zero_user_segments(page, 4096, 1024, 512, 918)
But new the zero_user_segments() implementation for for HIGHMEM + TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE doesn't handle "start > end" case correctly, and hits BUG_ON(). (we can fix __block_write_begin_int() instead though, it is the old and multiple usage)
Also it calls kmap_atomic() unnecessarily while start == end == 0.
