Yes, it is common practice for converting sleepable spin lock to raw

Note, in a lot of cases we don't just convert spin_locks to raw because
of atomic context. There's times we need to change the design where the
lock is not taken in atomic context (switching preempt_disable() to a
local_lock() for example).
Yes, definitely. Understood.

But bpf is much like ftrace and kprobes where they can be taken almost
anywhere, and the do indeed need to be raw.
