From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d3296fb372bf7497b0e5d0478c4e7a677ec6f6e9 ] We hit following warning when running tests on kernel compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y: WARNING: CPU: 19 PID: 4472 at mm/gup.c:2381 __get_user_pages_fast+0x1a4/0x200 CPU: 19 PID: 4472 Comm: dummy Not tainted 5.6.0-rc6+ #3 RIP: 0010:__get_user_pages_fast+0x1a4/0x200 ...
