SubjectBUG: sleeping function called from invalid context (arm CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL )
I - very reproducibly - get this 'BUG' message

on my CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL system:
#uname -a
Linux buildroot 3.14.12-rt9 #25 SMP PREEMPT RT Fri Nov 28 09:42:05 PST
2014 armv7l GNU/Linux

when accessing a mmapped, non-existing device from user-space.

I'm not an ARM expert but I suspect that when the exception is taken
interrupts are disabled and probably not re-enabled by the exception
handler (irqs_disabled(): 128).

arm_notify_die() calls force_sig_info() which may block (under
RT_PREEMPT_FULL).

In 'force_sig_info()' we find

/*
* On some archs, PREEMPT_RT has to delay sending a signal from a trap
* since it can not enable preemption, and the signal code's spin_locks
* turn into mutexes. Instead, it must set TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME which will
* send the signal on exit of the trap.
*/
#ifdef ARCH_RT_DELAYS_SIGNAL_SEND

and if this CPP symbol is defined there is a codepath that
delays signal delivery and never blocks.

Perhaps the arm support should use this facility?

Unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with this CPU arch to propose
a fix.

Best regards
