Hi Alexei,

You may want to consider using SRCU rather than RCU if you need to sleep while
holding a RCU read-side lock.

This is the synchronization approach I consider for adding the ability to take page
faults when doing syscall tracing.

Then you'll be able to replace preempt_disable() by combining SRCU and
migrate_disable():

AFAIU eBPF currently uses preempt_disable() for two reasons:

- Ensure the thread is not migrated,
  -> can be replaced by migrate_disable() in RT
- Provide RCU existence guarantee through sched-RCU
  -> can be replaced by SRCU, which allows sleeping and taking page faults.

I wonder if it would be acceptable to take a page fault while migration is
disabled though ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
