SubjectRe: [PATCHv5 12/19] x86/mm: Implement prep_encrypted_page() and arch_free_page()
From
Date
The description doesn't mention the potential performance implications
of this patch. That's criminal at this point.

prep_encrypted_page() is called in the fast path in the page allocator.
This out-of-line copy costs a function call for all users and this is
also out of the reach of the compiler to understand that keyid!=0 is
unlikely.

I think this needs to be treated to the inline-in-the-header treatment.

It's also worth pointing out that this must be done on the keyid alias
direct map, not the normal one.

Wait a sec... How do we know which direct map to use?

Ditto on pushing this to a header.

OK, how do we know which copy of the direct map to use, here?
