Subject: [PATCH] drm/vmwgfx: Replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page()
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 10:37:57 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903153757.26291-1-danishkhateeb03@gmail.com> (raw)
kmap_atomic() is deprecated in favour of kmap_local_page(), as described
in Documentation/mm/highmem.rst.
The conversion is safe in vmw_mob_build_pt(): the mapping is created and
torn down within a single iteration of the pt_page loop, preserving the
strict stack-based ordering that kmap_local_page() requires. Between the
map and the unmap the code only writes page table entries through the
mapped address and calls the vmw_piter accessors, which are non-sleeping
array and scatterlist lookups, so neither pagefault_disable() nor
preempt_disable() is needed.
Reword the function comment to match. Avoiding TLB thrashing, the reason
given there for using temporary mappings, still applies.
Build-tested only.
