[PATCH v3 00/19] scsi: libsas: Remove in_interrupt() check

["Ahmed S. Darwish" <a.darwish@linutronix.de>]

Hi,

Changelog v3
------------

- Include latest version of John's patch. Collect r-b tags.

- Limit all code to 80 columns, even for intermediate patches.

- Rebase over v5.11-rc4

Changelog v2
------------

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210112110647.627783-1-a.darwish@linutronix.de

- Rebase on top of John's patch "scsi: libsas and users: Remove notifier
  indirection", as it affects every other patch. Include it in this
  series (patch #2).

- Introduce patches #13 => #19, which modify call sites back to use the
  original libsas notifier function names without _gfp() suffix.

- Rebase over v5.11-rc3

v1 / Cover letter
-----------------

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201218204354.586951-1-a.darwish@linutronix.de

In the discussion about preempt count consistency across kernel
configurations:

  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200914204209.256266093@linutronix.de

it was concluded that the usage of in_interrupt() and related context
checks should be removed from non-core code.

This includes memory allocation mode decisions (GFP_*). In the long run,
usage of in_interrupt() and its siblings should be banned from driver
code completely.

This series addresses SCSI libsas. Basically, the function:

  => drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_init.c:
  struct asd_sas_event *sas_alloc_event(struct asd_sas_phy *phy)
  {
        ...
        gfp_t flags = in_interrupt() ? GFP_ATOMIC : GFP_KERNEL;
        event = kmem_cache_zalloc(sas_event_cache, flags);
        ...
  }

is transformed so that callers explicitly pass the gfp_t memory
allocation flags. Affected libsas clients are modified accordingly.

Patches #1, #2 => #7 have "Fixes: " tags and address bugs the were
noticed during the context analysis.

Thanks!
