It would be nice to switch it off e.g. in directory-local or file-local variables, but setting whitespace-mode: nil there doesn=E2=80=99t work as global-whitespace-mode is still active. Hence as soon as I have a single buffer I don=E2=80=99t want to edit in whitespace-mode I have to turn off global-whitespace-mode, which means that any new buffers I open don=E2=80= =99t get whitespace-mode turned on. I=E2=80=99m a bit puzzled as to why global-whitespace-mode exists at all: w= hy doesn=E2=80=99t whitespace-mode just work like, for example, indent-tabs-mo= de? This I can turn on or off globally, and easily customize per-buffer.
