Is there a real need to do transfers in atomic context, or with
interrupts disabled?
Actually, no. Generally, this function will be called in sleep-able context
so this code is for an exceptional case handling.
I'll rewrite this code like below:
if (in_atomic() || irqs_disabled()) {
dev_dbg(&adapter->dev,
"xfer in non-sleepable context is not supported\n");
return -EWOULDBLOCK;
}
I would not even do that. Just add a call to
might_sleep(). CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP will then find bad calls.
Thanks for the suggestion. I've learned one thing. :)

Is this getting the temperature?
Yes, this is getting the 'die' temperature of a processor package.
So the hwmon driver provides this. No need to have both.
This this common API in core driver of PECI bus. The hwmon is also uses
it through peci_command call.

Adding new ioctl calls is pretty frowned up. Can you export this info
via /sysfs?
Most of these are not simple IOs so ioctl is better suited, I think.
Lets see what other reviewers say, but i think ioctls are
wrong.
