mm, sched: Allow uaccess in atomic with pagefault_disable()
This changes might_fault() so that it does not
trigger a false positive diagnostic for e.g. the following
sequence:
spin_lock_irqsave()
pagefault_disable()
copy_to_user()
pagefault_enable()
spin_unlock_irqrestore()
In particular vhost wants to do this, to call
socket ops from under a lock.
There are 3 cases to consider:
- CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING - might_fault is non-inline
so it's easy to move the in_atomic test to fix
up the false positive warning.
- CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP - might_fault
is currently inline, but we are calling a
non-inline __might_sleep anyway,
so let's use the non-line version of might_fault
that does the right thing.
- !CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP && !CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING
__might_sleep is a nop so might_fault is a nop.
Make this explicit.
