Probably, I can try.

Indeed with that the __get_free_page() lockdep splat is gone.
There's a different one now hence my other patch.

That bothered me as well, but I was too lazy to define one and the existing ones
don't apply. PATH_MAX is 4K which will

I'm
Hi Vineet,
Just curious: isn't that enough to use GFP_NOWAIT instead
of GFP_KERNEL when we allocate page in show_regs()?
As I can see x86 use print_vma_addr() in their show_signal_msg()
function which allocate page with __get_free_page(GFP_NOWAIT);

Use on-stack smaller buffers instead of dynamic pages.
The motivation for this change was to address lockdep splat when
signal handling code calls show_regs (with preemption disabled) and
ARC show_regs calls into sleepable page allocator.
