In the scsi_transport_srp implementation it cannot be avoided to iterate over a klist from atomic context when using the legacy block layer instead of blk-mq. Hence this patch that makes it safe to use klists in atomic context. This patch avoids that lockdep reports the following: WARNING: SOFTIRQ-safe -> SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order detected Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&(&k->k_lock)->rlock); local_irq_disable(); lock(&(&q->__queue_lock)->rlock); lock(&(&k->k_lock)->rlock); <Interrupt> lock(&(&q->__queue_lock)->rlock); stack backtrace: Workqueue: kblockd blk_timeout_work Call Trace: dump_stack+0xa4/0xf5 check_usage+0x6e6/0x700 __lock_acquire+0x185d/0x1b50 lock_acquire+0xd2/0x260 _raw_spin_lock+0x32/0x50 klist_next+0x47/0x190 device_for_each_child+0x8e/0x100 srp_timed_out+0xaf/0x1d0 [scsi_transport_srp] scsi_times_out+0xd4/0x410 [scsi_mod] blk_rq_timed_out+0x36/0x70 blk_timeout_work+0x1b5/0x220 process_one_work+0x4fe/0xad0 worker_thread+0x63/0x5a0 kthread+0x1c1/0x1e0 ret_from_fork+0x24/0x30 See also commit c9ddf73476ff ("scsi: scsi_transport_srp: Fix shost to rport translation").
