[PATCH 0/2] Some fixes to debug_kmap_atomic()

[Soeren Sandmann]

Hi, 

Here are two patches that fix an issue with debug_kmap_atomic(). 

The first one is a pretty straightforward fix for a race that can
cause an underflow, which in turn causes the stream of warnings to
never end.

The second patch extends debug_kmap_atomic() to deal with KM_IRQ_PTE,
KM_NMI, and KM_NMI_PTE.

I was seeing this because the __get_user_pages_fast() in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_events.c ends up eventually calling
kmap_atomic() with KM_PTE, which, with CONFIG_HIGHPTE enabled, ends up
expanding to:

#define __KM_PTE                        \
        (in_nmi() ? KM_NMI_PTE :        \
         in_irq() ? KM_IRQ_PTE :        \
         KM_PTE0)

and those KM_* types are not handled 

For the second patch, I am basically pattern matching, so I might be
completely wrong.


Thanks,
Soren
