Commit 984d74a72076a1 ("sysrq: rcu-ify __handle_sysrq")
replaced spin_lock_irqsave() calls with
rcu_read_lock() calls in sysrq. Since rcu_read_lock() does not
disable preemption, faulthandler_disabled() in
__do_page_fault() in x86/fault.c returns false. When the code
later calls might_sleep() in the pagefault handler, we get the
following warning:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at ../arch/x86/mm/fault.c:1187
in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 4706, name: bash
Preemption disabled at:[<ffffffff81484339>] printk+0x48/0x4a
To fix this, we release the RCU read lock before we crash.
Tested this patch on linux 3.18 by booting off one of our boards.

I queued this with Rik's Signed-off-by, and fixed some checkpatch.pl
errors. Please run scripts/checkpatch.pl on your patches in the future.
Please see below for the result.
Rik, did you test this as well? If so, may I also have your Tested-by?
Thanx, Paul

Yes, sorry. I forgot to run the script before sending Thanks for
fixing my comment and the trailing whitespace.

I applied this patch on linux 4.4-rc5 and booted off a fedora core 22
vmware VM with it (sorry I don't have a real box around). Seems to be
working fine. Also booted off a fc14 vm box with it and it also seems
fine. Here's the kernel crash dump from fc22 box :
