This BUG is the VM_BUG_ON(!in_atomic() && !irqs_disabled()) assertion in folio_ref_try_add_rcu() for non-SMP kernel.
The process_vm_readv() calls GUP to pin the THP. An optimization for pinning THP instroduced by commit 57edfcfd3419 ("mm/gup: accelerate thp gup even for "pages != NULL"") calls try_grab_folio() to pin the THP, but try_grab_folio() is supposed to be called in atomic context for non-SMP kernel, for example, irq disabled or preemption disabled, due to the optimization introduced by commit e286781d5f2e ("mm: speculative page references").
The commit efa7df3e3bb5 ("mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP boundaries") is not actually the root cause although it was bisected to. It just makes the problem exposed more likely.
The follow up discussion suggested the optimization for non-SMP kernel may be out-dated and not worth it anymore [1]. So removing the optimization to silence the BUG.
However calling try_grab_folio() in GUP slow path actually is unnecessary, so the following patch will clean this up.
