Documentation/mm: add details about kmap_local_page() and preemption

What happens if a thread is preempted after mapping pages with
kmap_local_page() was questioned recently.[1]

Commit f3ba3c710ac5 ("mm/highmem: Provide kmap_local*") from Thomas
Gleixner explains clearly that on context switch, the maps of an outgoing
task are removed and the map of the incoming task are restored and that
kmap_local_page() can be invoked from both preemptible and atomic
contexts.[2]

Therefore, for the purpose to make it clearer that users can call
kmap_local_page() from contexts that allow preemption, rework a couple of
sentences and add further information in highmem.rst.

Documentation/mm: rrefer kmap_local_page() and avoid kmap()

The reasoning for converting kmap() to kmap_local_page() was questioned
recently.[1]

There are two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as
mapping space is restricted and protected by a global lock for
synchronization and (2) kmap() also requires global TLB invalidation when
its pool wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully utilized
until a slot becomes available.

Warn users to avoid the use of kmap() and instead use kmap_local_page(),
by designing their code to map pages in the same context the mapping will
be used.

Documentation/mm: avoid invalid use of addresses from kmap_local_page()

Users of kmap_local_page() must be absolutely sure to not hand kernel
virtual address obtained calling kmap_local_page() on highmem pages to
other contexts because those pointers are thread local, therefore, they
are no longer valid across different contexts.

Extend the documentation of kmap_local_page() to warn users about the
above-mentioned potential invalid use of pointers returned by
kmap_local_page().

Documentation/mm: don't kmap*() pages which can't come from HIGHMEM

There is no need to kmap*() pages which are guaranteed to come from
ZONE_NORMAL (or lower). Linux has currently several call sites of
kmap{,_atomic,_local_page}() on pages which are clearly known which can't
come from ZONE_HIGHMEM.

Therefore, add a paragraph to highmem.rst, to explain better that a plain
page_address() may be used for getting the address of pages which cannot
come from ZONE_HIGHMEM, although it is always safe to use
kmap_local_page() / kunmap_local() also on those pages.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Most of the MM queue. A few things are still pending.

Liam's maple tree rework didn't make it. This has resulted in a few
other minor patch series being held over for next time.

Multi-gen LRU still isn't merged as we were waiting for mapletree to
stabilize. The current plan is to merge MGLRU into -mm soon and to
later reintroduce mapletree, with a view to hopefully getting both
into 6.1-rc1.

Summary:

- The usual batches of cleanups from Baoquan He, Muchun Song, Miaohe
Lin, Yang Shi, Anshuman Khandual and Mike Rapoport

- Some kmemleak fixes from Patrick Wang and Waiman Long

- DAMON updates from SeongJae Park

- memcg debug/visibility work from Roman Gushchin

- vmalloc speedup from Uladzislau Rezki

- more folio conversion work from Matthew Wilcox

- enhancements for coherent device memory mapping from Alex Sierra

- addition of shared pages tracking and CoW support for fsdax, from
Shiyang Ruan

- hugetlb optimizations from Mike Kravetz

- Mel Gorman has contributed some pagealloc changes to improve
latency and realtime behaviour.

- mprotect soft-dirty checking has been improved by Peter Xu

- Many other singleton patches all over the place"
