The use of kmap_atomic() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page() where it is feasible. Each call of kmap_atomic() in the kernel creates a non-preemptible section and disable pagefaults. This could be a source of unwanted latency, so kmap_local_page() should be preferred. With kmap_local_page(), the mapping is per thread, CPU local and not globally visible. Furthermore, the mapping can be acquired from any context (including interrupts). binder_alloc_do_buffer_copy() is a function where the use of kmap_local_page() in place of kmap_atomic() is correctly suited. Use kmap_local_page() / kunmap_local() in place of kmap_atomic() / kunmap_atomic() but, instead of open coding the mappings and call memcpy() to and from the virtual addresses of the mapped pages, prefer the use of the memcpy_{to,from}_page() wrappers (as suggested by Christophe Jaillet).
