Series gfs2: kmap{_atomic} conversion to kmap_local_{page/folio} |

Commit Message

  kmap_atomic() is deprecated in favor of kmap_local_{folio,page}().

kmap_atomic() disables page-faults and preemption (the latter only for
!PREEMPT_RT kernels), However, the code within the mapping/un-mapping in
gfs2_internal_read() does not depend on the above-mentioned side effects.

Further, memcpy_{from,to}_page() wrappers combine the
{kmap, unmap}_local_page() blocks when they are intended exclusively to
copy contents from/to the temporary mapped page. So, replace the
kmap_atomic()/kunmap_automic() block by the memcpy_from_page() API call.
This change allows to tidy-up code and also eliminate unused variable p.

Changes in v3:
   - Split as a separate patch for conversion in gfs2_internal_read() 
   - Use memcpy_from_page() as suggested by Fabio and  Andreas G
   - Included split version in patch set

Changes in v2:
   - Update patch description to correct the replacement function name
     from kmap_local_folio to kmap_local _page

I don't like to read the list of the functions replaced by the 
memcpy_from_page() helper in the subject of the patch. These details are 
better suited in commit messages.

Furthermore, you have not been consistent: "kmap_atomic()+memcpy" contains 
parentheses only in one of the two functions. Both or none.

The thing that really matters here is that You are replacing the deprecated 
kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page(). This is what the subject should show.

Please cite the use of the suited helper _only_ within the commit message and 
explain why it is preferred to open code kmap_local_page() + memcpy() + 
kunmap_local().

This is a different logical change. Please put it in a different patch with 
proper subject and commit message.

Thanks,
