You can sleep in them. You must however release the host lock and enable irqs first and reverse that before returning. The error handlers don't need the host lock, but we're stuck with the unfortunate calling convention for now.
Why are we stuck with this calling convention, when everyone who cares circumvents it?
Because no one found the time to do a full transition yet. If you want to update all scsi drivers feel free. One patch per method please.
Jeff,
Please add the following patch to your eh_abort locking patch for the ipr driver. It fixes a race condition your patch would introduce. Thanks.
Which race is introduced? The SCSI EH does a lot of synchronization for you...
