GHES is doing ioremap_page_range() in both NMI and irq context, neither are safe as it may sleep to allocate intermediate levels of page table. Replace the NMI/irq GHES_IOREMAP_PAGES to use a fixmap entry each. After this nothing uses ghes_ioremap_area or arch_apei_flush_tlb_one(), rip them out. RFC as I've only build-tested this on x86. For arm64 I've tested it on a software model. Any more testing would be welcome. These patches are based on rc7. Thanks, James Morse (6): arm64: fixmap: Add GHES fixmap entries x86/mm/fixmap: Add GHES fixmap entries ACPI / APEI: Replace ioremap_page_range() with fixmap ACPI / APEI: Remove ghes_ioremap_area arm64: mm: Remove arch_apei_flush_tlb_one() ACPI / APEI: Remove arch_apei_flush_tlb_one() arch/arm64/include/asm/acpi.h | 12 ------ arch/arm64/include/asm/fixmap.h | 5 +++ arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c | 4 ++
If you need it: Acked-by: Will Deacon <redacted> for the arm64 bits. Will
