Pages for Rx buffers are allocated in cas_page_alloc() using either GFP_ATOMIC or GFP_KERNEL. Memory allocated with GFP_KERNEL/GFP_ATOMIC can't come from highmem and so there's no need to kmap() them. Just use page_address() instead. This makes the variable 'addr' unnecessary, so remove it too. Note that kmap_atomic() disables preemption and page-fault processing, but page_address() doesn't. When removing uses of kmap_atomic(), one has to check if the code being executed between the map/unmap implicitly depends on page-faults and/or preemption being disabled. If yes, then code to disable page-faults and/or preemption should also be added for functional correctness. That however doesn't appear to be the case here, so just page_address() is used. I don't have hardware, so this change has only been compile tested. Cc: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com> Cc: Fabio M.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
