This is okay.

Now the preemption imbalance via pte_alloc_map() path i.e

pte_alloc_map() -> pte_offset_map() -> kmap_atomic()

Is not this very much powerpc 32 specific or this will be applicable
for all platform which uses kmap_XXX() to map high memory ?


See https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.3-rc8/source/include/linux/highmem.h#L91

I think it applies at least to all arches using the generic implementation.

Applies also to arm:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.3-rc8/source/arch/arm/mm/highmem.c#L52

Applies also to mips:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.3-rc8/source/arch/mips/mm/highmem.c#L47

Same on sparc:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.3-rc8/source/arch/sparc/mm/highmem.c#L52

Same on x86:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.3-rc8/source/arch/x86/mm/highmem_32.c#L34

I have not checked others, but I guess it is like that for all.
