mvsas calls the non _gfp version of the libsas event notifiers API, leading to the buggy call chains below: mvsas/mv_sas.c :: mvs_work_queue() [process context] spin_lock_irqsave(mvs_info::lock, ) -> sas_ha->notify_phy_event() == libsas/sas_event.c :: sas_notify_phy_event() -> sas_alloc_event() -> in_interrupt() = false -> invalid GFP_KERNEL allocation -> sas_ha->notify_port_event() == libsas/sas_event.c :: sas_notify_port_event() -> sas_alloc_event() -> in_interrupt() = false -> invalid GFP_KERNEL allocation Use the new event notifiers API instead, which requires callers to explicitly pass the gfp_t memory allocation flags. Below are context analysis for the modified functions: => mvs_bytes_dmaed(): Since it is invoked from both process and atomic contexts, let its callers pass the gfp_t flags. Call chains: scsi_scan.c: do_scsi_scan_host() [has msleep()] -> shost->hostt->scan_start() -> [mvsas/mv_init.c: Scsi_Host::scsi_host_template .scan_start = mvs_scan_start()] -> mvsas/mv_sas.c: mvs_scan_start() -> mvs_bytes_dmaed(..., GFP_KERNEL) mvsas/mv_sas.c: mvs_work_queue() spin_lock_irqsave(mvs_info::lock,) -> mvs_bytes_dmaed(..., GFP_ATOMIC) mvsas/mv_64xx.c: mvs_64xx_isr() || mvsas/mv_94xx.c: mvs_94xx_isr() -> mvsas/mv_chips.h: mvs_int_full() -> mvsas/mv_sas.c: mvs_int_port() -> mvs_bytes_dmaed(..., GFP_ATOMIC); => mvs_work_queue(): Invoked from process context, but it calls all the libsas event notifier APIs under a spin_lock_irqsave(). Pass GFP_ATOMIC. Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.
