From: Sai Praneeth <sai.praneeth.prakhya@xxxxxxxxx>
A page fault occurs when any EFI Runtime Service tries to reference a
memory region which it shouldn't. If the illegally accessed region
is EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_<CODE/DATA>, the efi specific page fault handler
fixes it up by dynamically creating VA->PA mappings using
efi_map_region().
Originally, efi_map_region() and hence the functionality of creating
mappings for efi regions was intended to be used *only* during boot time
(please note __init modifier) and hence when called during runtime (i.e.
from efi page fault handler), the page allocators complain. Calling
efi_map_region() during runtime complains because "gfp_allowed_mask"
value changes from boot time to runtime (GFP_BOOT_MASK to
__GFP_BITS_MASK). During boot, even though efi_map_region() calls
alloc_<pte/pmd>_page with GFP_KERNEL, the page allocator doesn't
complain because "__GFP_RECLAIM" flag is cleared by "gfp_allowed_mask",
but during runtime it isn't cleared and hence prints below stack trace.

Fix the above warning by conditionally changing the allocation from
GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC, so that efi page fault handler could use
efi_map_region() during runtime. This change shouldn't effect any other
generic page allocations because this allocation is used only by efi
functions [1].

if (cpa->pgd) {
/*
* Right now, we only execute this code path when mapping
* the EFI virtual memory map regions, no other users
* provide a ->pgd value. This may change in the future.

return populate_pgd(cpa, vaddr);
