Sorry the list was so big I struggled with who to CC and on which patches.

Matthew Wilcox and Al Viro have suggested similar ideas.

[PATCH RFC PKS/PMEM 24/58] fs/freevxfs: Utilize new kmap_thread()

2020-10-09 Thread ira . weiny
From: Ira Weiny

the over head of global PKRS updates use the new kmap_thread() call.
