      Pagecache zeroing: zero_user_segment, zero_user_segments and zero_user · eebd2aa3
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      Simplify page cache zeroing of segments of pages through 3 functions
      
      zero_user_segments(page, start1, end1, start2, end2)
      
              Zeros two segments of the page. It takes the position where to
              start and end the zeroing which avoids length calculations and
      	makes code clearer.
      
      zero_user_segment(page, start, end)
      
              Same for a single segment.
      
      zero_user(page, start, length)
      
              Length variant for the case where we know the length.
      
      We remove the zero_user_page macro. Issues:
      
      1. Its a macro. Inline functions are preferable.
      
      2. The KM_USER0 macro is only defined for HIGHMEM.
      
         Having to treat this special case everywhere makes the
         code needlessly complex. The parameter for zeroing is always
         KM_USER0 except in one single case that we open code.
      
      Avoiding KM_USER0 makes a lot of code not having to be dealing
      with the special casing for HIGHMEM anymore. Dealing with
      kmap is only necessary for HIGHMEM configurations. In those
      configurations we use KM_USER0 like we do for a series of other
      functions defined in highmem.h.
      
      Since KM_USER0 is depends on HIGHMEM the existing zero_user_page
      function could not be a macro. zero_user_* functions introduced
      here can be be inline because that constant is not used when these
      functions are called.
      
      Also extract the flushing of the caches to be outside of the kmap.
