It is not necessary to check if a fault has occured or not after disabling pagefaults. kmap_atomic does that in all cases and we can disable it for 64 bit where kmap is not needed and a simple page_address would suffice. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1M Before: 3.1GB/s. After: 3.5GB/s There is a noticeable difference for file disk read and write as well as less noticeable difference for network IO.

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.
