[PATCH] [10/31] CPA: Change kernel_map_pages to not use c_p_a()

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Mon Jan 14 2008 - 17:19:55 EST



CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC uses change_page_attr to map/unmap mappings for catching
stray kernel mappings. But standard c_p_a() does a lot of unnecessary work for
this simple case with pre-split mappings.

Change kernel_map_pages to just access the page table directly which
is simpler and faster.

I also fixed it to use INVLPG if available.

This is required for changes to c_p_a() later that make it use kmalloc. Without
this we would risk infinite recursion. Also in general things are easier when
sleeping is allowed.
