Subject: [PATCH] efi/capsule: Replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page()
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 15:13:40 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902201340.70189-1-danishkhateeb03@gmail.com> (raw)
kmap_atomic() is deprecated in favour of kmap_local_page(), as described
in Documentation/mm/highmem.rst.
The conversion is safe here: the mapping is created and torn down within a
single iteration of the sg_count loop, preserving the strict stack-based
ordering that kmap_local_page() requires, and the mapped region is only
written to, so neither pagefault_disable() nor preempt_disable() is needed.
The surrounding code already sleeps (it allocates the pages with
alloc_page(GFP_KERNEL) and later takes capsule_mutex), so there is no
atomic context to preserve.
Build-tested only.
