From: Zhao Liu <zhao1.liu@xxxxxxxxx> The use of kmap_atomic() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page()[1]. The main difference between atomic and local mappings is that local mappings doesn't disable page faults or preemption. In drm/i915/gem/selftests/huge_pages.c, function __cpu_check_shmem() mainly uses mapping to flush cache and check the value. There're 2 reasons why __cpu_check_shmem() doesn't need to disable pagefaults and preemption for mapping: 1. The flush operation is safe for CPU hotplug when preemption is not disabled. Function __cpu_check_shmem() calls drm_clflush_virt_range() to use CLFLUSHOPT or WBINVD to flush. Since CLFLUSHOPT is global on x86 and WBINVD is called on each cpu in drm_clflush_virt_range(), the flush operation is global and any issue with cpu's being added or removed can be handled safely. 2. Any context switch caused by preemption or sleep (pagefault may cause sleep) doesn't affect the validity of local mapping. Therefore, __cpu_check_shmem() is a function where the use of kmap_local_page() in place of kmap_atomic() is correctly suited. Convert the calls of kmap_atomic() / kunmap_atomic() to kmap_local_page() / kunmap_local().
