Subject: Review: Don't use kmap() in xfs_iozero().
Date: Fri, 2 Feb 2007 16:40:44 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070202054044.GO33919298@melbourne.sgi.com> (raw)
kmap is inefficient and does scale well. kmap_atomic() is a better
choice. Use the generic wrapper function instead of open coding the
kmap-memset-dcache flush-kumap stuff. Suggested by Andrew Morton.
Comments?
Cheers,
Dave.
