Giridhar Pemmasani 5211e6e6c6 [PATCH] Fix GFP_HIGHMEM slab panic 
As reported by Martin J. Bligh <mbligh@google.com>, we let through some
non-slab bits to slab allocation through __get_vm_area_node when doing a
vmalloc.

I haven't been able to reproduce this, although I understand why it
happens: vmalloc allocates memory with

GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_HIGHMEM

and commit 52fd24ca1d resulted in the same
flags are passed down to cache_alloc_refill, causing the BUG.  The
following patch fixes it.

Note that when calling kmalloc_node, I am masking off __GFP_HIGHMEM with
GFP_LEVEL_MASK, whereas __vmalloc_area_node does the same with

~(__GFP_HIGHMEM | __GFP_ZERO).

IMHO, using GFP_LEVEL_MASK is preferable, but either should fix this
problem.
