A possible fix is to remove ___might_sleep in cond_resched_lock. This bug is found by my static analysis tool and my code review.This analysis doesn't makes sense. The point of cond_resched_lock() is that it drops the lock, if resched is required. ___might_sleep() is called with preempt_offset equal to PREEMPT_LOCK_OFFSET, so it won't report error if it's the only lock we hold.
