From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: iov_iter: lift memzero_page() to highmem.h
Patch series "btrfs: Convert kmap/memset/kunmap to memzero_user()".
Lifting memzero_user(), convert it to kmap_local_page() and then use it in
btrfs.
This patch (of 3):
memzero_page() can replace the kmap/memset/kunmap pattern in other places
in the code. While zero_user() has the same interface it is not the same
call and its use should be limited and some of those calls may be better
converted from zero_user() to memzero_page().[1] But that is not addressed
in this series.
Lift memzero_page() to highmem.
