mm: cma: don't replace lowmem pages with highmem
The filesystem layer expects pages in the block device's mapping to not be in highmem (the mapping's gfp mask is set in bdget()), but CMA can currently replace lowmem pages with highmem pages, leading to crashes in filesystem code such as the one below: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000400 pgd = c0c98000 [00000400] *pgd=00c91831, *pte=00000000, *ppte=00000000 Internal error: Oops: 817 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM CPU: 0 Not tainted (3.5.0-rc5+ #80) PC is at __memzero+0x24/0x80 ...
