Kan Liang 1ee1c3f5b5 mm: allow page_cache_get_speculative in interrupt context 
Kernel panic when calling the IRQ-safe __get_user_pages_fast in NMI
handler.

The bug was introduced by commit 2947ba054a ("x86/mm/gup: Switch GUP
to the generic get_user_page_fast() implementation").

The original x86 __get_user_page_fast used plain get_page() or
page_ref_add().  However, the generic __get_user_page_fast uses
page_cache_get_speculative(), which has VM_BUG_ON(in_interrupt()).

There is no reason to prevent page_cache_get_speculative from using in
interrupt context.  According to the author, putting a BUG_ON there is
just because the code is not verifying correctness of interrupt races.
I did some tests in interrupt context.  There is no issue found.

Removing VM_BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) for page_cache_get_speculative().

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
