[BUG] sleeping function called from invalid context at ./include/linux/sched/mm.h:321

Hello!

The next-20250512 release got the following while running either of the
rcutorture TINY02 and SRCU-T scenarios with strict KCSAN enabled:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at ./include/linux/sched/mm.h:321

This is the last line of this function:

static inline void might_alloc(gfp_t gfp_mask)
{
fs_reclaim_acquire(gfp_mask);
fs_reclaim_release(gfp_mask);

might_sleep_if(gfpflags_allow_blocking(gfp_mask));
}

The reproducer is as follows:

tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --allcpus --duration 1m --configs TINY02 --kcsan --kmake-arg CC=clang

I ran this on x86 with clang version 19.1.7 (CentOS 19.1.7-1.el9).

See below for the full splat. The TINY02 and SRCU-T scenarios are unique
in setting both CONFIG_SMP=n and CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y.

Bisection converges here:

c836e5a70c59 ("genirq/chip: Rework irq_set_msi_desc_off()")

The commit reverts cleanly, but results in the following build error:

kernel/irq/chip.c:98:26: error: call to undeclared function 'irq_get_desc_lock'

Thoughts?

Thanx, Paul
