[PATCH] drm/radeon: Replace kmap() with kmap_local_page()

[PATCH] drm/radeon: Replace kmap() with kmap_local_page()

[Fabio M. De Francesco]

The use of kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().

There are two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as
the 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.

Therefore, replace kmap() with kmap_local_page() in radeon_ttm_gtt_read().

Many thanks to you!

However, about a week ago, I received a report saying that this patch is "Not 
Applicable". 

That email was also referring to another patch, for which I'll reply in its 
own thread.

That report has a link to https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/project/linux-media/
patch/20221013210714.16320-1-fmdefrancesco@gmail.com/

Can you please let me understand why, despite it was applied, this patch later 
shifted "State" to "Not Applicable"?

Thanks,

Fabio

The kernel has multiple patchwork instances, so you got an "N/A" from
linux-media, but it was applied to the drm tree. (Yes, confusing. :P)
