If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 946e4f971b313410b4ee4f6a2482a41eae6c68fa Author: James Smart <jsmart2021@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Sep 7 09:52:25 2021 -0700 scsi: elx: efct: Do not hold lock while calling fc_vport_terminate() [ Upstream commit 450907424d9ebcc28fab42a065c3cddce49ee97d ] 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 is unnecessary to hold the lock over this call, shift where the lock is taken.
