Subject: [PATCH] mm/userfaultfd: Replace kmap/kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page()
Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2022 21:34:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221024043452.1491677-1-ira.weiny@intel.com> (raw)
From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com>
kmap() and kmap_atomic() are being deprecated in favor of
kmap_local_page() which is appropriate for any thread local context.[1]
A recent locking bug report with userfaultfd showed that the conversion
of these kmap_atomic()'s required care with regard to the prevention of
deadlock.[2]
Complete kmap conversion in userfaultfd by replacing the kmap() and
kmap_atomic() calls with kmap_local_page(). When replacing the
kmap_atomic() call ensure page faults continue to be disabled to support
the correct fall back behavior and add a comment to inform future souls
of the requirement.
