kmap_atomic disables preemption?

void *kmap_atomic_prot(struct page *page, enum km_type type, pgprot_t prot)
{                       
        enum fixed_addresses idx;
        unsigned long vaddr;    
                        
        /* even !CONFIG_PREEMPT needs this, for in_atomic in  * do_page_fault */
        pagefault_disable();
