The quilt patch titled Subject: kasan: avoid sleepable page allocation from atomic context has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kasan-avoid-sleepable-page-allocation-from-atomic-context-v9.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------ From: Alexander Gordeev agordeev@linux.ibm.com Subject: kasan: avoid sleepable page allocation from atomic context Date: Thu, 15 May 2025 15:55:38 +0200
apply_to_pte_range() enters the lazy MMU mode and then invokes kasan_populate_vmalloc_pte() callback on each page table walk iteration. However, the callback can go into sleep when trying to allocate a single page, e.g. if an architecutre disables preemption on lazy MMU mode enter.
On s390 if make arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() -> preempt_enable() and arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode() -> preempt_disable(), such crash occurs:

Instead of allocating single pages per-PTE, bulk-allocate the shadow memory prior to applying kasan_populate_vmalloc_pte() callback on a page range.
