Subject: [PATCH] no highpage
From: Jeff Hansen <[email-masked]>

On ASUS WL-500gP there are many unexpected "Segmentation fault"s that
seem to be caused by a kernel. They can be avoided by:
1) Disabling highpage
2) Using flush_cache_mm in flush_cache_dup_mm

For details see OpenWrt ticket #2035 https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/2035
