[PATCH net-next v9 09/13] net: introduce the skb_copy_to_va_nocache() helper
Posted by Yunsheng Lin 2 months, 3 weeks ago
introduce the skb_copy_to_va_nocache() helper to avoid
calling virt_to_page() and skb_copy_to_page_nocache().

One minor nit. Rather than duplicate skb_copy_to_page_nocache you would
be better served to implement this one before it, and then just update
skb_copy_to_page_nocache to be:
	return skb_copy_to_va_nocache(sk, from, skb,
				      page_address(page) + off, copy);

We can save ourselves at least a few lines of code that way and it
creates one spot to do any changes.

Looking at more closely, it seems we may be able to just rename
skb_copy_to_page_nocache() to skb_copy_to_va_nocache() as there
is no caller for skb_copy_to_page_nocache() after this patchset.
