The skcipher walk API implementation avoids scatterwalk_map() for mapping the source and destination buffers, and invokes kmap_atomic() directly if the buffer in question is not in low memory (which can only happen on 32-bit architectures). This avoids some overhead on 64-bit architectures, and most notably, permits the skcipher code to run with preemption enabled. Now that scatterwalk_map() has been updated to use kmap_local(), none of this is needed, so we can simply use scatterwalk_map/unmap instead.

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.
