Christoph found out this is due to the poisoning code not dealing
properly with CONFIG_HIGHMEM because only the first page is mapped but
then the whole potentially high-order page is accessed.

We could give up on HIGHMEM here, but it's straightforward to fix this
with a loop that's mapping, poisoning or checking and unmapping
individual pages.

[PATCH 6.6.y 1/2] mm/mempool: replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page()

[Sasha Levin]

From: "Fabio M. De Francesco" <fabio.maria.de.francesco@linux.intel.com>

[ Upstream commit f2bcc99a5e901a13b754648d1dbab60f4adf9375 ]

kmap_atomic() has been deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().

Therefore, replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page().

kmap_atomic() is implemented like a kmap_local_page() which also disables
page-faults and preemption (the latter only in !PREEMPT_RT kernels).  The
kernel virtual addresses returned by these two API are only valid in the
context of the callers (i.e., they cannot be handed to other threads).

With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread and CPU local like in
kmap_atomic(); however, they can handle page-faults and can be called from
any context (including interrupts).  The tasks that call kmap_local_page()
can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the kernel
virtual addresses are restored and are still valid.

The code blocks between the mappings and un-mappings don't rely on the
above-mentioned side effects of kmap_atomic(), so that mere replacements
of the old API with the new one is all that they require (i.e., there is
no need to explicitly call pagefault_disable() and/or preempt_disable()).
