[PATCH 02/17] nilfs2: eliminate staggered calls to kunmap in nilfs_rename
Posted by Ryusuke Konishi 2 years ago
In nilfs_rename(), calls to nilfs_put_page() to release pages obtained
with nilfs_find_entry() or nilfs_dotdot() are alternated in the normal
path.

When replacing the kernel memory mapping method from kmap to
kmap_local_{page,folio}, this violates the constraint on the calling
order of kunmap_local().

Swap the order of nilfs_put_page calls where the kmap sections of
multiple pages overlap so that they are nested, allowing direct
replacement of nilfs_put_page() -> unmap_and_put_page().

Without this reordering, that replacement will cause a kernel WARNING
in kunmap_local_indexed() on architectures with high memory mapping.
