> trace infra uses preempt_disable_notrace/preempt_enable_notrace  to disable/enable preemtion but  my kernel compiled without CONFIG_PREEMPTION so this functions are only barriers - looks like the idea behind was to avoid involuntary preemtion  but in our case it is a voluntary (there is a wait_for_completion in the query_pkey  rabbit hole).

So this tracepoint is just wrong, you can't call a sleepable function
from a tracepoint like that?

Presumably lockdep would/should warn about this?

Delete the pkey logging from the tracepoint, it can't work, I guess.
