Subject: [PATCH v3 1/1] nvmet-tcp: Don't kmap() pages which can't come from HIGHMEM
Date:   Mon, 22 Aug 2022 16:24:38 +0200

kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().[1]

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
kmap’s pool wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully
utilized until a slot becomes available.

The pages which will be mapped are allocated in nvmet_tcp_map_data(),
using the GFP_KERNEL flag. This assures that they cannot come from
HIGHMEM. This imply that a straight page_address() can replace the kmap()
of sg_page(sg) in nvmet_tcp_map_pdu_iovec(). As a side effect, we might
also delete the field "nr_mapped" from struct "nvmet_tcp_cmd" because,
after removing the kmap() calls, there would be no longer any need of it.

Therefore, replace the kmap() of sg_page(sg) with a page_address() and
delete the "nr_mapped" field from "nvmet_tcp_cmd" and instead pass a
local variable to iov_iter_kvec() from the call site in
nvmet_tcp_map_pdu_iovec().

Test with blktests on a QEMU/KVM x86_32 VM, 6GB RAM, booting a kernel with
HIGHMEM64GB enabled.
