Petersen Cc: Christoph Hellwig; James Bottomley; linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Hannes Reinecke; Sreekanth Reddy; Suganath Prabu Subramani; Hannes Reinecke Subject: [PATCH] mpt3sas: Do not mark fw_event workqueue as WQ_MEM_RECLAIM The firmware event workqueue should not be marked as WQ_MEM_RECLAIM as it's doesn't need to make forward progress under memory pressure. In the current state it will result in a deadlock if the device had been forcefully removed.
