Folks, In the discussion about preempt count consistency across kernel configurations: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200914204209.256266093@xxxxxxxxxxxxx it was concluded that the usage of in_interrupt() and related context checks should be removed from non-core code. This includes memory allocation mode decisions (GFP_*). In the long run, usage of in_interrupt() and its siblings should be banned from driver code completely. This series addresses SCSI libsas. Basically, the function: => drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_init.c: struct asd_sas_event *sas_alloc_event(struct asd_sas_phy *phy) { ... gfp_t flags = in_interrupt() ? GFP_ATOMIC : GFP_KERNEL; event = kmem_cache_zalloc(sas_event_cache, flags); ... } is transformed so that callers explicitly pass the gfp_t memory allocation flags. Affected libsas clients are modified accordingly. The first six patches have "Fixes: " tags and address bugs the were noticed during the context analysis. Thanks! 8<-------------- Ahmed S.
