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. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
