Currently, efi_mem_reserve_persistent() may not be called from atomic
context, since both the kmalloc() call and the memremap() call may
sleep.
The kmalloc() call is easy enough to fix, but the memremap() call
needs to be moved into an init hook since we cannot control the
memory allocation behavior of memremap() at the call site.

BTW, I won’t be able to apply this patch on top of this series [1]. After applied that series, the original BUG sleep from atomic is gone as well as two other GIC warnings. Do you think a new patch is needed here?

OK, I was able to apply this patch on top of latest mainline (ccda4af0f4b9)
which also include one patch (1/6) from the above series,
However, the efi-related patches from the series (4/6, 5/6, and 6/6) are no
longer able to be cleanly applied.
As the results, the above patch did fix the original BUG: sleep from atomic,
but it introduces 2 new warnings.

[...]
These are the warnings you've already reported, aren't they? And we've
established that if you apply the whole series, everything work as
intended at least on the GIC side (the timer issue is a different
story altogether).
Or am I missing something?
Thanks,

The problem is that I am not able to apply the whole
series alone on top of the latest mainline (rc2) now to
verify it. Also, I won’t be able to apply the series and
this patch together on top of rc1. There are conflicts
between this patch and 4-6 of the series.
Originally, I said those GIC warnings are gone when
testing rc1 + the series, but I am not sure if it is just
dumb luck that also fix BUG: sleep from atomic. Make
sense?
