Pull kmap conversion updates from David Sterba:
"This contains changes regarding kmap API use and eg conversion from
kmap_atomic to kmap_local_page.
The API belongs to memory management but to save cross-tree
dependency headaches we've agreed to take it through the btrfs tree
because there are some trivial conversions possible, while the rest
will need some time and getting the easy cases out of the way would be
convenient.
The changes can be grouped:
- function exports, new helpers
- new VM_BUG_ON for additional verification; it's been discussed if
it should be VM_BUG_ON or BUG_ON, the former was chosen due to
performance reasons
- code replaced by relevant helpers"
[ This is an updated version of a request that originally came in during
the merge window, but I asked for some updates:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1614090658.git.dsterba@suse.com/
which is why this got merge after the merge window closed. - Linus ]
* 'kmap-conversion-for-5.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux:
btrfs: use copy_highpage() instead of 2 kmaps()
btrfs: use memcpy_[to|from]_page() and kmap_local_page()
mm/highmem: Add VM_BUG_ON() to mem*_page() calls
mm/highmem: Introduce memcpy_page(), memmove_page(), and memset_page()
mm/highmem: Convert memcpy_[to|from]_page() to kmap_local_page()
mm/highmem: Lift memcpy_[to|from]_page to core

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
