The ___might_sleep is called under a spinlock, and the function call graph
is:
__purge_vmap_area_lazy (acquire the spinlock)
cond_resched_lock
___might_sleep
In this situation, ___might_sleep may prints error log message because a
spinlock is held.
A possible fix is to remove ___might_sleep in cond_resched_lock.
This bug is found by my static analysis tool and my code review.
This analysis doesn't makes sense.
The point of cond_resched_lock() is that it drops the lock, if resched is
required.
___might_sleep() is called with preempt_offset equal to
PREEMPT_LOCK_OFFSET, so it won't report error if it's the only lock we
hold.
