We only emit the renderstate once now during module load, it is no longer a concern that we are delaying context creation and so do not need to so eagerly optimise. Since the last time we have looked at the renderstate, we have a pin_map / flush_map facility that supports simple single mappings, replacing the open-coded kmap_atomic() and prepare_write. As it should be a single page, of which we only write a small portion, we stick to a simple WB [kmap] and use clflush on !llc platforms, rather than creating a temporary WC vmapping for the single page.

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.
