Subject: [merged mm-stable] mm-swapfile-replace-kmap_atomic-with-kmap_local_page.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2023 16:55:31 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231211005531.85D52C433C7@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/swapfile: replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-swapfile-replace-kmap_atomic-with-kmap_local_page.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/swapfile: replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page()
Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2023 16:54:37 +0100

kmap_atomic() has been deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().

Therefore, replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page() in swapfile.c.

kmap_atomic() is implemented like a kmap_local_page() which also disables
page-faults and preemption (the latter only in !PREEMPT_RT kernels).  The
kernel virtual addresses returned by these two API are only valid in the
context of the callers (i.e., they cannot be handed to other threads).

With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread and CPU local like in
kmap_atomic(); however, they can handle page-faults and can be called from
any context (including interrupts).  The tasks that call kmap_local_page()
can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the kernel
virtual addresses are restored and are still valid.

In mm/swapfile.c, the blocks of code between the mappings and un-mappings
do not depend on the above-mentioned side effects of kmap_atomic(), so
that the mere replacements of the old API with the new one is all that is
required (i.e., there is no need to explicitly call pagefault_disable()
and/or preempt_disable()).
