Commit ddd7ed842627 ("x86/kvm: Alloc dummy async #PF token outside of raw spinlock") leads to the following Smatch static checker warning: arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c:212 kvm_async_pf_task_wake() warn: sleeping in atomic context arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c 202 raw_spin_lock(&b->lock); 203 n = _find_apf_task(b, token); 204 if (!n) { 205 /* 206 * Async #PF not yet handled, add a dummy entry for the token. 207 * Allocating the token must be down outside of the raw lock 208 * as the allocator is preemptible on PREEMPT_RT kernels. 209 */ 210 if (!dummy) { 211 raw_spin_unlock(&b->lock); --> 212 dummy = kzalloc(sizeof(*dummy), GFP_KERNEL); ^^^^^^^^^^ Smatch thinks the caller has preempt disabled. The `smdb.py preempt kvm_async_pf_task_wake` output call tree is: sysvec_kvm_asyncpf_interrupt() <- disables preempt -> __sysvec_kvm_asyncpf_interrupt() -> kvm_async_pf_task_wake() The caller is this: arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c 290 DEFINE_IDTENTRY_SYSVEC(sysvec_kvm_asyncpf_interrupt) 291 { 292 struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); 293 u32 token; 294 295 ack_APIC_irq(); 296 297 inc_irq_stat(irq_hv_callback_count); 298 299 if (__this_cpu_read(apf_reason.enabled)) { 300 token = __this_cpu_read(apf_reason.token); 301 kvm_async_pf_task_wake(token); 302 __this_cpu_write(apf_reason.token, 0); 303 wrmsrl(MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_ACK, 1); 304 } 305 306 set_irq_regs(old_regs); 307 } The DEFINE_IDTENTRY_SYSVEC() is a wrapper that calls this function from the call_on_irqstack_cond(). It's inside the call_on_irqstack_cond() where preempt is disabled (unless it's already disabled). The irq_enter/exit_rcu() functions disable/enable preempt.
