[PATCH v4] lib/test_bpf: Call page_address() on page acquired with GFP_KERNEL flag

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

 



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' and label 'err_free_page'.
