[PATCH v5 4/4] fs/ufs: Replace kmap() with kmap_local_page()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.

The use of kmap_local_page() in fs/ufs is "safe" because (1) the kernel
virtual addresses are exclusively re-used by the thread which
established the mappings (i.e., thread locality is never violated) and (2)
the nestings of mappings and un-mappings are always stack based (LIFO).

Therefore, replace kmap() with kmap_local_page() in fs/ufs. kunmap_local()
requires the mapping address, so return that address from ufs_get_page()
and use it as parameter for the second argument of ufs_put_page().
