Now that the kmap atomic index is stored in task struct provide a preemptible variant. On context switch the maps of an outgoing task are removed and the map of the incoming task are restored. That's obviously slow, but highmem is slow anyway. The kmap_local.*() functions can be invoked from both preemptible and atomic context. kmap local sections disable migration to keep the resulting virtual mapping address correct, but disable neither pagefaults nor preemption. A wholesale conversion of kmap_atomic to be fully preemptible is not possible because some of the usage sites might rely on the preemption disable for serialization or on the implicit pagefault disable. Needs to be done on a case by case basis.

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.
