Hence why I'm asking what will be the "recommended" way to do this... kunmap_thread() or kmap_atomic()? > And since I don't know the call site details if there are kmap_thread() calls > which are better off as kmap_atomic() calls I think it is worth converting > them. But I made the assumption that kmap users would already be calling > kmap_atomic() if they could (because it is more efficient). Not necessarily. In cases where either one is correct, people might not have put much thought into which of kmap() and kmap_atomic() they are using. - Eric
