Hi,
During recent discussion about KVM protected memory, David raised a concern
about usage of __kernel_map_pages() outside of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC scope [1].
Indeed, for architectures that define CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP it is
possible that __kernel_map_pages() would fail,
From: Mike Rapoport
When CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled, it unmaps pages from the kernel
direct mapping after free_pages(). The pages than need to be mapped back
before they could be used. Theese mapping operations use
__kernel_map_pages() guarded with with debug_pagealloc_enabled().
The only
From: Mike Rapoport
When DEBUG_PAGEALLOC or ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP is enabled a page may be
not present in the direct map and has to be explicitly mapped before it
could be copied.
Introduce hibernate_map_page() that will explicitly use
set_direct_map_{default,invalid}_noflush() for ARCH_HAS_SE
From: Mike Rapoport
The design of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC presumes that __kernel_map_pages() must never
fail. With this assumption is wouldn't be safe to allow general usage of
this function.
Moreover, some architectures that implement __kernel_map_pages() have this
function guarded by #ifdef DEBUG_PAGE
From: Mike Rapoport
For architectures that enable ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY having the ability to
verify that a page is mapped in the kernel direct map can be useful
regardless of hibernation.
Add RISC-V implementation of kernel_page_present(), update its forward
declarations and stubs to be a part of

I renamed it to `sched_napi'.

dpaa_eth_napi_schedule() and caam_qi_napi_schedule() schedule NAPI if
invoked from:
- Hard interrupt context
- Any context which is not serving soft interrupts
Any context which is not serving soft interrupts includes hard interrupts
so the in_irq() check is redundant. caam_qi_napi_schedule() h
The driver uses in_irq() + in_serving_softirq() magic to decide if NAPI
scheduling is required or packet processing.
The usage of in_*() in drivers is phased out and Linus clearly requested
that code which changes behaviour depending on context should either be
separated or the context be conveyed
