> 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.
