You haven't tested this on 32-bit maachines with HIGHMEM, have you?
kmap_local_page() only maps PAGE_SIZE bytes, so you need to map it and
unmap each page. Also, why are you calling compound_head()? Surely
you're already assuming that page is a head page here?

(this is why I introduced the struct folio type, so you know whether
a pointer is already to a head page and you don't need to call
compound_head() again).
