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 (the preemption is disabled for !PREEMPT_RT case, otherwise it only disables migration). With kmap_local_page(), we can avoid the often unwanted side effect of unnecessary page faults or preemption disables. In drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_shmem.c, the function shmem_pwrite() need to disable pagefault to eliminate the potential recursion fault[2]. But here __copy_from_user_inatomic() doesn't need to disable preemption and local mapping is valid for sched in/out. So it can use kmap_local_page() / kunmap_local() with pagefault_disable() / pagefault_enable() to replace atomic mapping.
