[PATCHSET 0/6] Switch kbuf mappings to vm_insert_pages()

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

 



Hi,

This series cleans up kbuf management a bit.

First two patches get rid of our array of buffer_lists, as in my testing
there's no discernable difference between the xarray lookup and our
array. This also then gets rid of any difference between lower and higher
buffer group IDs, which is nice.

Patch 3 starts using vmap for the non-mmap case for provided buffer
rings, which means we can clean up the buffer indexing in
io_ring_buffer_select() as well as there's now no difference between
how we handle mmap vs gup versionf of buffer lists.

Patches 4 and 5 are prep patches for patch 6, which switches the mmap
buffer_list variant away from remap_pfn_range() and uses
vm_insert_pages() instead.

This is how it should've been done initially, and as per the diffstat,
it's a nice reduction in code as well.
