From: "Ahmed S. Darwish" <a.darwish@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> _scsih_fw_event_cleanup_queue() waits for all outstanding firmware events wokrqueue handlers to finish. If in_interrupt() is true, it cancels itself and return early. That in_interrupt() check is ill-defined and does not provide what the name suggests: it does not cover all states in which it is safe to block and call functions like cancel_work_sync(). That check is also not needed: _scsih_fw_event_cleanup_queue() is always invoked from process context. Below is an analysis of its callers: - scsih_remove(), bound to PCI ->remove(), process context - scsih_shutdown(), bound to PCI ->shutdown(), process context - mpt3sas_scsih_clear_outstanding_scsi_tm_commands(), called by => _base_clear_outstanding_commands(), called by =>_base_fault_reset_work(), workqueue => mpt3sas_base_hard_reset_handler(), locks mutex Remove the in_interrupt() check. Change _scsih_fw_event_cleanup_queue() specification to a purely process-context function and mark it with "Context: task, can sleep". Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.
