To: linux-fsdevel, linux-kernel; +Cc: Fabio M. De Francesco, Ira Weiny
kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().
Two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as mapping
space is restricted and protected by a global lock for synchronization and
(2) it also requires global TLB invalidation when the kmap’s pool wraps
and it might block when the mapping space is fully utilized until a slot
becomes available.
With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take
page faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts).
It is faster than kmap() in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled. Furthermore,
the tasks can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the
kernel virtual addresses are restored and still valid.
Since its use in bnode.c is safe everywhere, it should be preferred.
Therefore, replace kmap() with kmap_local_page() in bnode.c. Where
possible, use the suited standard helpers (memzero_page(), memcpy_page())
instead of open coding kmap_local_page() plus memset() or memcpy().

Looks reasonable. Makes sense from my point of view.

Please drop this patch because I'll send it again in a series of three, one
per file (bnode.c, bitmap.c, btree.c).
Unfortunately, while working at the last patch (btree.c), I just noticed
that I had missed one of the call sites of kmap() in bitmap.c.
Therefore, I'd prefer to send that again in a patchset and find a way to
test each of the three of them on a QEMU/KVM x86_32 VM, booting a kernel
with HIGHMEM64GB enabled.
Thanks,
Fabio
