kmap_local_page() is the preferred way to create temporary mappings when it is feasible, because the mappings are thread-local and CPU-local. kmap_local_page() uses per-task maps rather than per-CPU maps. This in effect removes the need to disable preemption on the local CPU while the mapping is active, and thus vastly reduces overall system latency. It is also valid to take pagefaults within the mapped region. The use of kmap_atomic() in the SGX code was not an explicit design choice to disable page faults or preemption, and there is no compelling design reason to using kmap_atomic() vs. kmap_local_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.
