In commit a425ac5365f6 ("gup: add warning if some caller would seem to
want stack expansion") I added a temporary warning to catch any strange
GUP users that would be impacted by the fact that GUP no longer extends
the stack.
But it turns out that the warning is most easily triggered through
__access_remote_vm(), that already knows to expand the stack - it just
does it *after* calling GUP. So the warning is easy to trigger by just
running gdb (or similar) and accessing things remotely under the stack.
This just adds a temporary extra "expand stack early" to avoid the
warning for the already converted case - not because the warning is bad,
but because getting the warning for this known good case would then hide
any subsequent warnings for any actually interesting cases.
Let's try to remember to revert this change when we remove the warnings.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
