Subject: [PATCH v2] mm: Make vmalloc_dump_obj() call in a preemptible context
Date:   Thu, 17 Nov 2022 19:25:20 +0800

Currently, the mem_dump_obj() is invoked in call_rcu(), the
call_rcu() is maybe invoked in non-preemptive code segment,
for object allocated from vmalloc(), the following scenarios
may occur:

        CPU 0
tasks context
   spin_lock(&vmap_area_lock)
          Interrupt context
              call_rcu()
                mem_dump_obj
                  vmalloc_dump_obj
                    spin_lock(&vmap_area_lock) <--deadlock

and for PREEMPT-RT kernel, the spinlock will convert to sleepable
lock, so the vmap_area_lock spinlock not allowed to get in non-preemptive
code segment. therefore, this commit make the vmalloc_dump_obj() call in
a preemptible context.
