generate_test_data() acquires a page with alloc_page(GFP_KERNEL). The GFP_KERNEL is typical for kernel-internal allocations. The caller requires ZONE_NORMAL or a lower zone for direct access. Therefore the page cannot come from ZONE_HIGHMEM. Thus there's no need to map it with kmap(). Also, the kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page() [1]. Hence, use a plain page_address() directly. Since the page passed to the page_address() is not from the highmem zone, the page_address() function will always return a valid kernel virtual address and will not return NULL. Hence, remove the check 'if (!ptr)'. Remove the unused variable 'ptr'. [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220813220034.806698-1-ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx/ Suggested-by: Fabio M.
