The use of kmap_atomic() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page()[1], and this patch converts the call from kmap_atomic() + memcpy() to memcpy_[from/to]_page(), which use kmap_local_page() to build local mapping and then do memcpy(). 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 and preemption disables. In drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_phys.c, the functions i915_gem_object_get_pages_phys() and i915_gem_object_put_pages_phys() don't need to disable pagefaults and preemption for mapping because of 2 reasons: 1. The flush operation is safe. In drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_object.c, i915_gem_object_get_pages_phys() and i915_gem_object_put_pages_phys() 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. 2. Any context switch caused by preemption or page faults (page fault may cause sleep) doesn't affect the validity of local mapping. Therefore, i915_gem_object_get_pages_phys() and i915_gem_object_put_pages_phys() are two functions where the uses of local mappings in place of atomic mappings are correctly suited. Convert the calls of kmap_atomic() / kunmap_atomic() + memcpy() to memcpy_from_page() and memcpy_to_page().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
