When tracing sched events on sdm845 mtp, I hit below bug repeatedly.
Seems like pstore_event_call can be called in atomic context.
I will respin the below fix in next version of the patch.
Reviews on other parts would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi Stephen

Thanks for the comments.

Do you need to allocate at all? Can you throw the iter on the stack?


Yes since we need to copy the contents to pstore buffer.

Using in_atomic() and irqs_disabled() to figure out if an atomic or a
non-atomic allocation should be used is not a good solution.


I took reference from a similar use by graph_trace_open() which can be called in atomic context via ftrace_dump(). I am open to correct this if there is some other way.
