[PATCH] fs-verity: use kmap_local_page() instead of kmap()

[PATCH] fs-verity: use kmap_local_page() instead of kmap()

[Eric Biggers]

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>

Convert the use of kmap() to its recommended replacement
kmap_local_page().  This avoids the overhead of doing a non-local
mapping, which is unnecessary in this case.

Is this a common pattern?  eg do we want something like:

static inline int copy_user_page(void __user *dst, struct page *page,
		size_t offset, size_t len)
{
	char *src = kmap_local_page(page) + offset;
	int err = 0;

	VM_BUG_ON(offset + len > PAGE_SIZE);
	if (copy_to_user(dst, src, len))
		err = -EFAULT;

	kunmap_local(src);
	return err;
}

in highmem.h?

Not sure that it is much common...

Can the following command provide any insight?

opensuse:/usr/src/git/kernels/linux> grep -rn copy_to_user -B7 . --exclude-
dir\=Documentation | grep kmap

./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_ttm.c-2306-         ptr = 
kmap_local_page(p);
./drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c-215-  vaddr = kmap_local_page(page);
./drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_ttm.c-872-                      ptr = 
kmap(page);
./drivers/vfio/pci/mlx5/main.c-182-             from_buff = 
kmap_local_page(page);
./arch/parisc/kernel/cache.c-580-       kto = kmap_local_page(to);
./mm/memory.c-5474-                     maddr = kmap(page);
./fs/verity/read_metadata.c-56-         virt = kmap(page);
./fs/aio.c-1252-                ev = kmap_local_page(page);
./fs/exec.c-883-                char *src = kmap_local_page(bprm->page[index]) 
+ offset;

If this command is good to provide any hint, it suggests that having 
copy_to_user() in highmem.h is not probably worth.

Thanks,

Fabio
