Subject[PATCH 5.1 140/405] x86/mm: Remove in_nmi() warning from 64-bit implementation of vmalloc_fault()
Date
[ Upstream commit a65c88e16f32aa9ef2e8caa68ea5c29bd5eb0ff0 ]

In-NMI warnings have been added to vmalloc_fault() via:

ebc8827f75 ("x86: Barf when vmalloc and kmemcheck faults happen in NMI")

back in the time when our NMI entry code could not cope with nested NMIs.

These days, it's perfectly fine to take a fault in NMI context and we
don't have to care about the fact that IRET from the fault handler might
cause NMI nesting.

This warning has already been removed from 32-bit implementation of
vmalloc_fault() in:

6863ea0cda8 ("x86/mm: Remove in_nmi() warning from vmalloc_fault()")

but the 64-bit version was omitted.

Remove the bogus warning also from 64-bit implementation of vmalloc_fault().
