Merge tag 'remove-get_kernel_pages-for-6.3' of https://git.linaro.org…
…/people/jens.wiklander/linux-tee Pull TEE update from Jens Wiklander: "Remove get_kernel_pages() Vmalloc page support is removed from shm_get_kernel_pages() and the get_kernel_pages() call is replaced by calls to get_page(). With no remaining callers of get_kernel_pages() the function is removed" [ This looks like it's just some random 'tee' cleanup, but the bigger picture impetus for this is really to to to remove historical confusion with mixed use of kernel virtual addresses and 'struct page' pointers. Kernel virtual pointers in the vmalloc space is then particularly confusing - both for looking up a page pointer (when trying to then unify a "virtual address or page" interface) and _particularly_ when mixed with HIGHMEM support and the kmap*() family of remapping. This is particularly true with HIGHMEM getting much less test coverage with 32-bit architectures being increasingly legacy targets. So we actively wanted to remove get_kernel_pages() to make sure nobody else used it too, and thus the 'tee' part is "finally remove last user". See also commit 6647e76 ("v4l2: don't fall back to follow_pfn() if pin_user_pages_fast() fails") for a totally different version of a conceptually similar "let's stop this confusion of different ways of referring to memory". - Linus ] * tag 'remove-get_kernel_pages-for-6.3' of https://git.linaro.org/people/jens.wiklander/linux-tee: mm: Remove get_kernel_pages() tee: Remove call to get_kernel_pages() tee: Remove vmalloc page support highmem: Enhance is_kmap_addr() to check kmap_local_page() mappings
