Since the transmit path is never executed in an atomic
context, we do not need kmap_atomic() and can always
use less demanding kmap().

Hey Bernard,  is the code below called directly from the driver’s post_send function?  If so it must use atomic...I think.

Hey Steve,

Only a kernel TX thread executes the TX path. It is not
executed directly from the drivers post_send() method,
which only queues work for TX processing and wakes up
the TX thread if it currently does not run.
The single exception is TX processing
out of a user space application context, if no TX
thread is currently running, but only for a small
burst. In any case, all TX processing is done out of
a non-atomic context.

Best,
Bernard.
