From 9ea9a68064035dee70f465f605a3e63990e33bd9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2018 15:46:01 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: drop VM_BUG_ON from __get_free_pages There is no real reason to blow up just because the caller doesn't know that __get_free_pages cannot return highmem pages. Simply fix that up silently. Even if we have some confused users such a fixup will not be harmful.
