Linux kernel source tree

kmap() has been deprecated in favor of the kmap_local_page() due to high cost, restricted mapping space, the overhead of a global lock for synchronization, and making the process sleep in the absence of free slots. kmap_local_page() is faster than kmap() and offers thread-local and CPU-local mappings, take pagefaults in a local kmap region and preserves preemption by saving the mappings of outgoing tasks and restoring those of the incoming one during a context switch. The mappings are kept thread local in the functions “dmirror_do_read” and “dmirror_do_write” in test_hmm.c Therefore, replace kmap() with kmap_local_page() and use mempcy_from/to_page() to avoid open coding kmap_local_page() + memcpy() + kunmap_local(). Remove the unused variable “tmp”. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230610175712.GA348514@sumitra.com Signed-off-by: Sumitra Sharma <sumitraartsy@gmail.com> Suggested-by: Fabio M.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
