Right, we can now get scheduled while in pagefault_disable() (if preemption hasn't been disabled manually). So we have to store it per task/thread not per cpu. Actually even the preempt disable counter is only per-cpu for x86 and lives in thread_info for all other archs (which is also not 100% clean but doesn't matter at that point). I had that pagefault disable counter in thread_info before, but that required messing with asm-offsets of some arch (I had a proper version but this one feels cleaner). Thanks for having a look!
