[ 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 ...

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
