I dug up the old zinc patch submissions and this wasn't present at all in the original. The original zinc code used blkcipher_walk which unconditinoally does kmap_atomic. So it's only the SG miter conversion that introduced this change, which appears to be a simple oversight (I think Ard was working on latency issues at that time, perhaps he was worried about keeping preemption off unnecessarily). ---8<--- There is no reason for the chacha20poly1305 SG miter code to use kmap instead of kmap_atomic as the critical section doesn't sleep anyway. So we can simply get rid of the preemptible check and set SG_MITER_ATOMIC unconditionally. Even if we need to reenable preemption to lower latency we should be doing that by interrupting the SG miter walk rather than using kmap.
