I must admit that I'm not an expert of this code, however, it looks like the mapping has no need to rely on the side effects of kmap_atomic() (i.e., pagefault_disable() and preempt_disable() - but I'm not entirely sure about the possibility that preemption should be explicitly disabled along with the replacement with kmap_local_page()). Last year I've been working on several conversions from kmap{,_atomic}() to kmap_local_page(), however I'm still not sure to understand what's happening here... Am I missing any important details? Can you please explain why we still need that kmap_atomic() instead of kmap_local_page()? Thanks in advance, Fabio > segment->data = segment->sg_mapped + sg->offset + segment- >sg_offset; > }

Actually, it might be worth dropping segment->sg_mapped and segment->data and only doing the kmap_local when necessary. And this: struct msghdr msg = { .msg_flags = flags }; struct kvec iov = { .iov_base = segment->data + offset, .iov_len = copy }; r = kernel_sendmsg(sk, &msg, &iov, 1, copy); should really be using struct bvec, not struct kvec - then the mapping isn't necessary. It looks like this might be the only place the mapping is used, but I'm not 100% certain. David

FWIW, struct bvec looks better suited (despite I have very little knowledge of this code). I assume that you noticed that we also have the unmapping counterpart (iscsi_tcp_segment_unmap()) which should also be addressed accordingly. > It looks like this might be the only place the mapping is used, > but I'm not 100% certain. It seems that kmap_atomic() (as well as kmap(), which you deleted) is only called by iscsi_tcp_segment_map(), which in turn is called only by iscsi_tcp_segment_done(). I can't see any other places where the mapping is used. I hope that this dialogue may help you somehow to choose the best suited way to get rid of that deprecated kmap_atomic(). Thanks for taking time to address questions from newcomers :-) Fabio > > David

As iscsi is now using sendmsg() with MSG_SPLICE_PAGES rather than sendpage, assume that sendpage_ok() will return true in iscsi_tcp_segment_map() and leave it to TCP to copy the data if not.
