[PATCH 0/3] btrfs: Replace kmap() with kmap_local_page()

From: Fabio M. De Francesco
Date: Tue May 31 2022 - 10:53:55 EST


This is the first series of patches aimed towards the conversion of Btrfs
filesystem from the use of kmap() to kmap_local_page().

The use of kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page() where
it is feasible. With kmap_local_page() the mapping is per thread, CPU
local and not globally visible.

Therefore, use kmap_local_page() / kunmap_local() in Btrfs wherever the
mappings are per thread and not globally visible.

Tested on QEMU + KVM 32 bits VM with 4GB of RAM and HIGHMEM64G enabled.
