[PATCH] pipe: introduce ->pin() buffer operation
The ->map() function is really expensive on highmem machines right now, since it has to use the slower kmap() instead of kmap_atomic(). Splice rarely needs to access the virtual address of a page, so it's a waste of time doing it. Introduce ->pin() to take over the responsibility of making sure the page data is valid. ->map() is then reduced to just kmap(). That way we can also share a most of the pipe buffer ops between pipe.c and splice.c Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
