Subject: [PATCH] riscv: misaligned: disable pagefault before accessing user memory
Date: Fri,  3 Jan 2025 17:02:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250103160214.657508-1-cleger@rivosinc.com> (raw)

Calling copy_{from/to}_user() in interrupt context might actually sleep
and display a BUG message:

In order to safely handle user memory access from this context, disable
page fault while copying user memory. Although this might lead to copy
failure in some cases (offlined page), this is the best we can try to be
safe.
