It is a regression on one machine (2x quad-core stoakley), but not another (4x quad-core tigerton). Interestingly, the stoakley box numbers have apparently been all over the map. > Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10318 > Subject : WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/highmem_32.c:43 kmap_atomic_prot+0x87/0x184() > Submitter : Pawel Staszewski > Date : 2008-03-25 02:50 (3 days old) Andrew and seems to have debugged this down to a kzalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) or similar. I wonder if the bug is in that commit 3811dbf67162bd08412f1b0e02e554f353e93bdb ("SLUB: remove useless masking of GFP_ZERO"), because I don't think that masking was at all useless and I think my original 7fd272550bd43cc1d7289ef0ab2fa50de137e767 was correct. That apparently bogus commit says "GFP_ZERO is already masked out in new_slab()", but gfpflags is not just used for new_slab(), but for kmalloc_large() too. Which does *not* clear GFP_ZERO. Pawel, does reverting 3811dbf67162bd08412f1b0e02e554f353e93bdb fix it for you? Also, Rafael - do these reminder emails also go to the people who are mentioned in the regressions (especially people who are set up as being "hanled-by" or having patches for the problem)?
