The use of kmap_atomic() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page()[1], and this patch converts the calls from kmap_atomic() to kmap_local_page(). 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 i915_gem_execbuffer.c, eb->reloc_cache.vaddr is mapped by kmap_atomic() in eb_relocate_entry(), and is unmapped by kunmap_atomic() in reloc_cache_reset(). And this mapping/unmapping occurs in two places: one is in eb_relocate_vma(), and another is in eb_relocate_vma_slow(). The function eb_relocate_vma() or eb_relocate_vma_slow() doesn't need to disable pagefaults and preemption during the above mapping/ unmapping. So it can simply use kmap_local_page() / kunmap_local() that can instead do the mapping / unmapping regardless of the context. Convert the calls of kmap_atomic() / kunmap_atomic() to kmap_local_page() / kunmap_local().

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.
