From: "Ahmed S. Darwish" <a.darwish@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
transport_handle_cdb_direct() uses in_interrupt() to detect if it is
safe to sleep. It produces a stack trace and returns with an error which
is clearly for debugging.
The usage of in_interrupt() in drivers is phased out and Linus clearly
requested that code which changes behaviour depending on context should
either be separated or the context be conveyed in an argument passed by the
caller, which usually knows the context.
transport_handle_cdb_direct() has a comment saying that it may only be
invoked from process context. It invokes transport_generic_new_cmd()
which performs GFP_KERNEL memory allocations. in_interrupt() does not
detect all the contexts where it is invalid to sleep (for the blocking
GFP_KERNEL allocation) as it fails to detect sections with disabled
preemption.
Replace the in_interrupt() based check with a might_sleep() annotation.
