4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx> I have not observed a might_sleep() warning from setup_fixmap_gdt()'s use of kaiser_add_mapping() in our tree (why not?), but like upstream we have not provided a way for that to pass is_atomic true down to kaiser_pagetable_walk(), and at startup it's far from a likely source of trouble: so just delete the walk's is_atomic arg and might_sleep().
