sched/preempt, mm/fault: Trigger might_sleep() in might_fault() with disabled pagefaults
Commit 662bbcb2747c ("mm, sched: Allow uaccess in atomic with pagefault_disable()") removed might_sleep() checks for all user access code (that uses might_fault()). The reason was to disable wrong "sleep in atomic" warnings in the following scenario: pagefault_disable() rc = copy_to_user(...) pagefault_enable() Which is valid, as pagefault_disable() increments the preempt counter and therefore disables the pagefault handler. copy_to_user() will not sleep and return an error code if a page is not available. However, as all might_sleep() checks are removed, CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP would no longer detect the following scenario: spin_lock(&lock); rc = copy_to_user(...) spin_unlock(&lock) If the kernel is compiled with preemption turned on, preempt_disable() will make in_atomic() detect disabled preemption. The fault handler would correctly never sleep on user access. However, with preemption turned off, preempt_disable() is usually a NOP (with !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT), therefore in_atomic() will not be able to detect disabled preemption nor disabled pagefaults. The fault handler could sleep. We really want to enable CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP checks for user access functions again, otherwise we can end up with horrible deadlocks. Root of all evil is that pagefault_disable() acts almost as preempt_disable(), depending on preemption being turned on/off. As we now have pagefault_disabled(), we can use it to distinguish whether user acces functions might sleep. Convert might_fault() into a makro that calls __might_fault(), to allow proper file + line messages in case of a might_sleep() warning.
