Use the new libsas event notifiers API, which requires callers to explicitly pass the gfp_t memory allocation flags. The libsas ->notify_port_event() hook is called from isci_port_bc_change_received(). Below is the context analysis for all of its call chains: host.c: sci_controller_error_handler(): atomic, irq handler (*) OR host.c: sci_controller_completion_handler(), atomic, tasklet (*) -> sci_controller_process_completions() -> sci_controller_event_completion() -> phy.c: sci_phy_event_handler() -> port.c: sci_port_broadcast_change_received() -> isci_port_bc_change_received() host.c: isci_host_init() (@) spin_lock_irq(isci_host::scic_lock) -> sci_controller_initialize(), atomic (*) -> port_config.c: sci_port_configuration_agent_initialize() -> sci_mpc_agent_validate_phy_configuration() -> port.c: sci_port_add_phy() -> sci_port_set_phy() -> phy.c: sci_phy_set_port() -> port.c: sci_port_broadcast_change_received() -> isci_port_bc_change_received() port_config.c: apc_agent_timeout(), atomic, timer callback (*) -> sci_apc_agent_configure_ports() -> port.c: sci_port_add_phy() -> sci_port_set_phy() -> phy.c: sci_phy_set_port() -> port.c: sci_port_broadcast_change_received() -> isci_port_bc_change_received() phy.c: enter SCI state: *SCI_PHY_STOPPED* #

The only exception, marked with "(+)", is a PCI ->remove() and PM_OPS ->suspend() cold path. Thus, pass GFP_ATOMIC to the libsas port event notifier. Note, the now-replaced libsas APIs used in_interrupt() to implicitly decide which memory allocation type to use. This was only partially correct, as it fails to choose the correct GFP flags when just preemption or interrupts are disabled. Such buggy code paths are marked with "(@)" in the call chains above.
