In the scsi_transport_srp implementation it cannot be avoided to
iterate over a klist from atomic context when using the legacy block
layer instead of blk-mq. Hence this patch that makes it safe to use
klists in atomic context. This patch avoids that lockdep reports the
following:
WARNING: SOFTIRQ-safe -> SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order detected
Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&(&k->k_lock)->rlock);
local_irq_disable();
lock(&(&q->__queue_lock)->rlock);
lock(&(&k->k_lock)->rlock);
<Interrupt>
lock(&(&q->__queue_lock)->rlock);

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
