Hi All,
This series is an attempt to fix the violation of lazy MMU mode context
requirement as described for arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode():
This mode can only be entered and left under the protection of
the page table locks for all page tables which may be modified.
On s390 if I make arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() -> preempt_enable() and
arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode() -> preempt_disable() I am getting this:
[ 553.332108] preempt_count: 1, expected: 0
[ 553.332117] no locks held by multipathd/2116.

This exposes a KASAN issue fixed with patch 1 and apply_to_pte_range()
issue fixed with patches 2-3. Patch 4 is a debug improvement on top,
that could have helped to notice the issue.
Commit b9ef323ea168 ("powerpc/64s: Disable preemption in hash lazy mmu
mode") looks like powerpc-only fix, yet not entirely conforming to the
above provided requirement (page tables itself are still not protected).
If I am not mistaken, xen and sparc are alike.
Thanks!
Alexander Gordeev (4):
kasan: Avoid sleepable page allocation from atomic context
mm: Cleanup apply_to_pte_range() routine
mm: Protect kernel pgtables in apply_to_pte_range()
mm: Allow detection of wrong arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() context
