Smatch checker reported the following error: drivers/base/power/sysfs.c:833 dpm_sysfs_remove() warn: sleeping in atomic context With a calling sequence of: efct_lio_npiv_drop_nport() <- disables preempt -> fc_vport_terminate() -> device_del() -> dpm_sysfs_remove() Issue is efct_lio_npiv_drop_nport() is making the fc_vport_terminate() call while holding a lock w/ ipl raised. It's unnecessary to hold the lock over this call, shift where the lock is taken.
