Patch series "hfs: Replace kmap() with kmap_local_page()". kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page(). There are two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as mapping space is restricted and protected by a global lock for synchronization and (2) it also requires global TLB invalidation when the kmaps pool wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully utilized until a slot becomes available. With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take page faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts). It is faster than kmap() in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled. Furthermore, the tasks can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the kernel virtual addresses are restored and still valid. Since its use in fs/hfs is safe everywhere, it should be preferred. Therefore, replace kmap() with kmap_local_page() in fs/hfs. Where possible, use the suited standard helpers (memzero_page(), memcpy_page()) instead of open coding kmap_local_page() plus memset() or memcpy(). Fix a bug due to a page being not unmapped if the code jumps to the "fail_page" label (1/3). Tested in a QEMU/KVM x86_32 VM, 6GB RAM, booting a kernel with HIGHMEM64GB enabled. This patch (of 3): Several paths within hfs_btree_open() jump to the "fail_page" label where put_page() is called while the page is still mapped. Call kunmap() to unmap the page soon before put_page().

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.
