kmap_atomic() is deprecated and should be replaced with kmap_local_page() [1][2]. kmap_local_page() is faster in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled, can take page faults, and allows preemption. According to [2], this replacement is safe as long as the code between kmap_atomic() and kunmap_atomic() does not implicitly depend on disabling page faults or preemption. In this patch, the only thing happening between mapping and unmapping the page is a memcpy, and I don't suspect it depends on disabling page faults or preemption.
