I've been waiting for something to happen but nobody replied. Bart, you were fine with 1/2 as posted but not too happy about 2/2. Assuming we keep 1/2 as is and I remove just the "WARN_ON_ONCE(!irqs_disabled());" from 2/2 (keeping the assert_spin_locked()), would that improve your mood? Lockdep would still perform full validation, yell if __transport_check_aborted_status() was invoked without locking and also yell abut missing IRQ-save at locking time of ->t_state_lock). > Thanks, > > Bart.
