2.6.25.6 kernel BUG at mm/highmem.c:319!

[Dave Jones]

Anyone know how this can happen ?
We just got a report from a user who is hitting the 

        BUG_ON(!PageHighMem(page));

in set_page_address().

we discussed this 2 or 3 weeks ago as part of the kerneloops reports...
everyone is puzzled... it's the number 20 report right now.

http://www.kerneloops.org/search.php?search=set_page_address

it seems that fuse is a very popular module when this hits...

I'm as puzzled now as back then.  And fuse isn't in Dave's list.
But I did notice after reporting back on it, that i915 appears in all
of the reports I looked at; and Fedora does have some drm/i915
patches, which do involve kmap.

I know precious little about drm, but didn't spot anything in those
patches which was likely to cause this: they might be a good place
for Dave to start looking though.

If this user is suffering from it repeatedly, might s/he be prepared
to run a kernel with more debug in it?  Though at this moment,
I don't know what it is that I'd like to be looking for anyway -
it's always easier to come up with debug patches when you've a
hypothesis as to what's going on, which I don't have.
