[PATCH] KVM: SVM: Replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page()

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

 



From: Zhao Liu <zhao1.liu@xxxxxxxxx>

The use of kmap_atomic() is being deprecated in favor of
kmap_local_page()[1].

In arch/x86/kvm/svm/sev.c, the function sev_clflush_pages() doesn't
need to disable pagefaults and preemption in kmap_atomic(). It can
simply use kmap_local_page() / kunmap_local() that can instead do the
mapping / unmapping regardless of the context.

With kmap_local_page(), the mapping is per thread, CPU local and not
globally visible. Therefore, sev_clflush_pages() is a function where
the use of kmap_local_page() in place of kmap_atomic() is correctly
suited.

Convert the calls of kmap_atomic() / kunmap_atomic() to
kmap_local_page() / kunmap_local().
