The use of kmap_atomic() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page()[1], and this patch converts the call 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. There're 2 reasons why i915_gem_object_read_from_page_kmap() doesn't need to disable pagefaults and preemption for mapping: 1. The flush operation is safe. In drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_object.c, i915_gem_object_read_from_page_kmap() 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_read_from_page_kmap() is a function where the use of kmap_local_page() in place of kmap_atomic() is correctly suited. Convert the calls of kmap_atomic() / kunmap_atomic() to kmap_local_page() / kunmap_local(). And remove the redundant variable that stores the address of the mapped page since kunmap_local() can accept any pointer within the page.
