From: "Ahmed S. Darwish" <a.darwish@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> qla4_82xx_rom_lock() spins on a certain hardware state until it is updated. At the end of each spin, if in_interrupt() is true, it does 20 loops of cpu_relax(). Otherwise, it yields the CPU. While in_interrupt() is ill-defined and does not provide what the name suggests, it is not needed here: qla4_82xx_rom_lock() is always called from process context. Below is an analysis of its callers: - ql4_nx.c: qla4_82xx_rom_fast_read(), all process context callers: => ql4_nx.c: qla4_82xx_pinit_from_rom(), GFP_KERNEL allocation => ql4_nx.c: qla4_82xx_load_from_flash(), msleep() in a loop - ql4_nx.c: qla4_82xx_pinit_from_rom(), earlier discussed - ql4_nx.c: qla4_82xx_rom_lock_recovery(), bound to "isp_operations" ->rom_lock_recovery() hook, which has one process context caller, qla4_8xxx_device_bootstrap(), with callers: => ql4_83xx.c: qla4_83xx_need_reset_handler(), process, msleep() => ql4_nx.c: qla4_8xxx_device_state_handler(), multiple msleep()s - ql4_nx.c: qla4_82xx_read_flash_data(), has cond_resched() Remove the in_interrupt() check. Mark, qla4_82xx_rom_lock(), and the ->rom_lock_recovery() hook, with "Context: task, can sleep". Change qla4_82xx_rom_lock() implementation to sleep 20ms, instead of a schedule(), for each spin. This is more deterministic, and it matches the other implementations bound to ->rom_lock_recovery(). Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.
