I don't see how this is a setup problem with the config reported here.

CONFIG_64BIT=y

...and HIGHMEM is not set.
...and PREEMPT_RT is not set.

So the kmap_local_page() call in that stack should be a page_address() only.

I think the issue must be some sort of race which was being prevented because
of the preemption and/or pagefault disable built into kmap_atomic().

Is this reproducable?

The hunk below will surely fix it but I think the pagefault_disable() is
the only thing that is required. It would be nice to test it.
