[RFC PATCH v6 1/6] x86/uaccess: Allow access_ok() in irq context if pagefault_disabled
From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Mon Mar 18 2019 - 02:44:13 EST
WARN_ON_IN_IRQ() assumes that the access_ok() and following
user memory access can sleep. But this assumption is not
always correct; when the pagefault is disabled, following
memory access will just returns -EFAULT and never sleep.
Add pagefault_disabled() check in WARN_ON_ONCE() so that
it can ignore the case we call it with disabling pagefault.
For this purpose, this modified pagefault_disabled() as
an inline function.
