    fs/ecryptfs: Use kmap_local_page() in ecryptfs_write() · c3c6833e
    Fabio M. De Francesco authored
    kmap_atomic() is deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().
    
    Therefore, replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page() in
    ecryptfs_write().
    
    kmap_atomic() is implemented like kmap_local_page() which also disables
    page-faults and preemption (the latter only for !PREEMPT_RT kernels).
    
    The code within the mapping/un-mapping in ecryptfs_write() does not
    depend on the above-mentioned side effects so that a mere replacement of
    the old API with the new one is all that is required (i.e., there is no
    need to explicitly call pagefault_disable() and/or preempt_disable()).
    
    Tested in a QEMU/KVM x86_32 VM, 6GB RAM, booting a kernel with
    HIGHMEM64GB enabled.
