In addition to the work already it the series, it seems like LAST_PKMAP_MASK, PKMAP_ADDR and PKMAP_NR can also be consolidated to common code.
Agreed, I mentioned in the cover letter there are similarities...
Also kmap_atomic_high_prot / kmap_atomic_pfn could move into common code, maybe keyed off a symbol selected by the actual users that need it. It also seems like it doesn't actually ever need to be exported.
... but these are not as readily obvious, at least to me. I do see a pattern but the differences seemed subtle enough that it would take a while to ensure correctness. So I'd like to see this series go in and build on it.
This in turn would lead to being able to allow io_mapping_map_atomic_wc on all architectures, which might make nouveau and qxl happy, but maybe that can be left for another series.
I agree, that this should be follow on patches. I still need to fix the bisect-ability and I don't want to bog down 0-day with a longer series.
Thanks for the review! Ira
