Commit 782b76d7abdf02b12c46ed6f1e9bf715569027f7 ("fs/ext2: Replace
kmap() with kmap_local_page()") replaced the kmap/kunmap calls in
ext2_get_page/ext2_put_page with kmap_local_page/kunmap_local for
efficiency reasons. As a necessary side change, the commit also
made ext2_get_page (and ext2_find_entry and ext2_dotdot) return
the mapping address along with the page itself, as it is required
for kunmap_local, and converted uses of page_address on such pages
to use the newly returned address instead. However, uses of
page_address on such pages were missed in ext2_check_page and
ext2_delete_entry, which triggers oopses if kmap_local_page happens
to return an address from high memory. Fix this now by converting
the remaining uses of page_address to use the right address, as
returned by kmap_local_page.
Again thanks for catching this!
