Skb frags may contain compound pages. Various operations map frags
temporarily using kmap_atomic, but this function works on single
pages, not whole compound pages. The distinction is only relevant
for high mem pages that require temporary mappings.
Introduce a looping mechanism that for compound highmem pages maps
one page at a time, does not change behavior on other pages.
Use the loop in the kmap_atomic callers in net/core/skbuff.c.
Verified by triggering skb_copy_bits with
tcpdump -n -c 100 -i ${DEV} -w /dev/null &
netperf -t TCP_STREAM -H ${HOST}
and by triggering __skb_checksum with
ethtool -K ${DEV} tx off
repeated the tests with looping on a non-highmem platform
(x86_64) by making skb_frag_must_loop always return true.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
