Hi

I have attached some thoughts and comments inline.

I find it odd that here you return ENOENT, but in `__ssam_nfblk_insert()`
EINVAL is returned instead of EEXIST. I believe either both should be EINVAL,
or EEXIST+ENOENT.

I'm wondering if it's necessary to create a new function which contains just
a single line.

I'm also wondering if there's any reason why these static one-liner functions are
not explicitly marked inline.

Is there any reason why a signed type is used for reference counting?

A small note, "%#04x" would insert the "0x" prefix.

The `flags` argument is seemingly ignored.

I believe `struct_size(item, event.data, len)` could be utilized here.

I believe `!item` is preferred.

I believe that if submission fails, `item` is leaked.

I think it'd be better to name it `ssam_notifier_is_empty()` to be consistent
with the rest of the patch.

Assinging a boolean like this to a `u32` looks very odd to me.

I think there is a bit of incosistency: sometimes you use ** pointer + return int,
sometimes you return a pointer with potentially embedded errno. I think it would
be better if you stuck with one or the other.

If I see it correctly, this line is the only significant difference between this one

It's set to false even if `disable_irq_wake()` fails?

`snprintf()` takes care of the null byte, so simply `PAGE_SIZE` would've been
sufficient. But that doesn't matter much since you should use `sysfs_emit()`.

If I understand it correctly, it is possible that submission of a packet fails
for the first time, but it's scheduled for resubmission, and this retransmission
happens at the same time when the complete() callback is called. If that's the
case, then the callback is called with an error condition, no? Thus it is possible
that a packet is successfully submitted (for the second, third, etc. time), but the
complete() callback receives notification about failure? Or am I missing something?

Why isn't `get_unaligned_le16()` used here? (Or simply even `sp.len`.)

Is it known what these abbreviations stand for? Maybe I missed them?

I believe it should be noted if the `status` argument is a regular errno,
or something different.

I have to agree, this is quite a sizable patch, although I think it's well-commented,
which helps reading the code by a lot, however, in some places I feel like it's a bit
over-engineered (or maybe I just cannot fully appreciate the subject at hand at the moment),
nonetheless, I applaud your efforts, I can only imagine the hours that must have gone into it.
