Subject: Re: [PATCH] module/decompress: Never use kunmap() for local un-mappings

Quoting Fabio M. De Francesco (2023-03-15 05:52:56)
> Use kunmap_local() to unmap pages locally mapped with kmap_local_page().
>
> kunmap_local() must be called on the kernel virtual address returned by
> kmap_local_page(), differently from how we use kunmap() which instead
> expects the mapped page as its argument.
>
> In module_zstd_decompress() we currently map with kmap_local_page() and
> unmap with kunmap(). This breaks the code and so it should be fixed.
