    fs/nfs: Replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page() in dir.c · 1683ed16
    Fabio M. De Francesco authored
    kmap_atomic() is deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().
    
    With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take
    page-faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts).
    Furthermore, the tasks can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to
    run again, the kernel virtual addresses are restored and still valid.
    
    kmap_atomic() is implemented like a kmap_local_page() which also disables
    page-faults and preemption (the latter only for !PREEMPT_RT kernels,
    otherwise it only disables migration).
    
    The code within the mappings/un-mappings in the functions of dir.c don't
    depend on the above-mentioned side effects of kmap_atomic(), so that mere
    replacements of the old API with the new one is all that is required
    (i.e., there is no need to explicitly add calls to pagefault_disable()
    and/or preempt_disable()).
    
    Therefore, replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page() in fs/nfs/dir.c.
    
    Tested in a QEMU/KVM x86_32 VM, 6GB RAM, booting a kernel with
    HIGHMEM64GB enabled.
