    Btrfs: stop using highmem for extent_buffers · a6591715
    Chris Mason authored
    The extent_buffers have a very complex interface where
    we use HIGHMEM for metadata and try to cache a kmap mapping
    to access the memory.
    
    The next commit adds reader/writer locks, and concurrent use
    of this kmap cache would make it even more complex.
    
    This commit drops the ability to use HIGHMEM with extent buffers,
    and rips out all of the related code.
