Hi all,
this series switches the core block layer code and all users of the
existing bvec kmap helpers to use kmap_local_page. Drivers that
currently use open coded kmap_atomic calls will converted in a follow
on series.
To do so a new kunmap variant is added that calls
flush_kernel_dcache_page. I'm not entirely sure where to call
flush_dcache_page vs flush_kernel_dcache_page, so I've tried to follow
the documentation here, but additional feedback would be welcome.
Note that the ps3disk has a minir conflict with the
flush_kernel_dcache_page removal in linux-next through the -mm tree.
I had hoped that change would go into 5.14, but it seems like it is
being held for 5.15.
Changes since v2:
- rely on the flush_dcache_helpers in memcpy_to_page and memzero_page
that now hit mainline
Changes since v1:
- add more/better comments
- add a new kunmap_local_dirty helper to feal with
flush(_kernel)_dcache_page
