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 (the preemption is disabled for !PREEMPT_RT case, otherwise it only disables migration). With kmap_local_page(), we can avoid the often unwanted side effect of unnecessary page faults or preemption disables. In drm/i915/gt/uc/intel_us_fw.c, the function intel_uc_fw_copy_rsa() just use the mapping to do memory copy so it doesn't need to disable pagefaults and preemption for mapping. Thus the local mapping without atomic context (not disable pagefaults / preemption) is enough. Therefore, intel_uc_fw_copy_rsa() is a function where the use of memcpy_from_page() with kmap_local_page() in place of memcpy() with kmap_atomic() is correctly suited. Convert the calls of memcpy() with kmap_atomic() / kunmap_atomic() to memcpy_from_page() which uses local mapping to copy.

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.
