I don't understand what specific callpath you are talking but if
it's clearly called in atomic context, the reason would be config
combination I met.
CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY + no CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP
It makes preempt_count logic void so might_sleep warning will not work.

Seems like a latency issue.

mm: turn vmap_purge_lock into a mutex
The purge_lock spinlock causes high latencies with non RT kernel,
