Subject: [PATCH] staging: rts5208: Convert kmap() to kmap_local_page()

The use of kmap() is being deprecated and kmap_local_page() is faster.
Use kmap_local_page() in place of kmap().

Also I believe this is work toward the Outreachy program. If so be sure to
follow the guidelines on this page:

https://kernelnewbies.org/Outreachyfirstpatch

In particular, it does not look like you cc'ed the Outreachy list.

Thanks!

Thanks for your review!

Sure, my mistake. Thomas G. was talking about kmap_atomic() when he wrote that
it is "faster". It does not apply to kmap_local_page().

What could justify the use of kmap_local_page() is that "The mapping is per
thread, CPU local and not globally visible.". Therefore this code is the right
context where to use kmap_local_page() in place of kmap().

At this moment I think that I might change my commit message and write something
like the above.

However, I'll research more information during the next days. In the meantime
I'm also going to take a look at the differences in implementation.

Aren't memcpy_to_page() and memcpy_from_page() better suited for the two
different branches of the "if" statement?

Thanks for the patch! I have just a couple of comments.

kmap_local_page() is not necessarily faster than kmap() but it is more correct
in this case. You should mention why.

Also to help with kmap_local_page() there are a number of helpers implemented
in highmem.h for things like memcpy, memmove, etc.

Check out memcpy_page() for this use case.

Thank you!
Ira
