Revision v2 of 2 in this series.

Revisions (2)
  1. v1 [diff vs current]
  2. v2 current
kmap_atomic() is being deprecated. This little series replaces the last
few uses of kmap_atomic() in the networking subsystem.

This series triggered a suggestion [1] that perhaps the Sun Cassini,
LDOM Virtual Switch Driver and the LDOM virtual network drivers should be
removed completely. I plan to do this in a follow up patchset. For
completeness, this series still includes kmap_atomic() conversions that
apply to the above referenced drivers. If for some reason we choose to not
remove these drivers, at least they won't be using kmap_atomic() anymore.

Also, the following maintainer entries for the Chelsio driver seem to be
defunct:

  Vinay Kumar Yadav [off-list ref]
  Rohit Maheshwari [off-list ref]

I can submit a follow up patch to remove these entries, but thought
maybe the folks over at Chelsio would want to look into this first.

Changes v1 -> v2:
  Use memcpy_from_page() in patches 2/6 and 4/6
  Add new patch for the thunderbolt driver
  Update commit messages and cover letter

Anirudh Venkataramanan (6):
  ch_ktls: Use memcpy_from_page() instead of k[un]map_atomic()
  sfc: Use kmap_local_page() instead of kmap_atomic()
  cassini: Use page_address() instead of kmap_atomic()
  cassini: Use memcpy_from_page() instead of k[un]map_atomic()
  sunvnet: Use kmap_local_page() instead of kmap_atomic()
  net: thunderbolt: Use kmap_local_page() instead of kmap_atomic()
