Subject: [PATCH v3 6/9] drm/i915: Use kmap_local_page() in gem/selftests/i915_gem_context.c

From: Zhao Liu <zhao1.liu@...el.com>

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.

With kmap_local_page(), we can avoid the often unwanted side effect of
unnecessary page faults or preemption disables.

In drm/i915/gem/selftests/i915_gem_context.c, functions cpu_fill() and
cpu_check() mainly uses mapping to flush cache and check/assign the
value.

There're 2 reasons why cpu_fill() and cpu_check() don't need to disable
pagefaults and preemption for mapping:

1. The flush operation is safe. cpu_fill() and cpu_check() call
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, cpu_fill() and cpu_check() are functions 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().
