Subject: [PATCH] De-pessimize rds_page_copy_user
|
|
|
|
Don't try to "optimize" rds_page_copy_user() by using kmap_atomic() and
|
|
the unsafe atomic user mode accessor functions. It's actually slower
|
|
than the straightforward code on any reasonable modern CPU.
|
|
|
|
Back when the code was written (although probably not by the time it was
|
|
actually merged, though), 32-bit x86 may have been the dominant
|
|
architecture. And there kmap_atomic() can be a lot faster than kmap()
|
|
(unless you have very good locality, in which case the virtual address
|
|
caching by kmap() can overcome all the downsides).
|
|
|
|
But these days, x86-64 may not be more populous, but it's getting there
|
|
(and if you care about performance, it's definitely already there -
|
|
you'd have upgraded your CPU's already in the last few years). And on
|
|
x86-64, the non-kmap_atomic() version is faster, simply because the code
|
|
is simpler and doesn't have the "re-try page fault" case.
|
|
|
|
People with old hardware are not likely to care about RDS anyway, and
|
|
the optimization for the 32-bit case is simply buggy, since it doesn't
|
|
verify the user addresses properly.
