Subject: [RFC][PATCH] vmalloc: simplify vread()/vwrite()
vread()/vwrite() is only called from kcore/kmem to access one page at
a time. So the logic can be vastly simplified.
The changes are:
- remove the vmlist walk and rely solely on vmalloc_to_page()
- replace the VM_IOREMAP check with (page && page_is_ram(pfn))
The VM_IOREMAP check is introduced in commit d0107eb07320b for per-cpu
alloc. Kame, would you double check if this change is OK for that
purpose?
The page_is_ram() check is necessary because kmap_atomic() is not
designed to work with non-RAM pages.
Even for a RAM page, we don't own the page, and cannot assume it's a
_PAGE_CACHE_WB page. So I wonder whether it's necessary to do another
patch to call reserve_memtype() before kmap_atomic() to ensure cache
consistency?
TODO: update comments accordingly
