mptsas_cleanup_fw_event_q() uses in_interrupt() to determine if it is safe to cancel a worker item. Aside of that in_interrupt() is deprecated as it does not provide what the name suggests. It covers more than hard/soft interrupt servicing context and is semantically ill defined. Looking closer there are a few problems with the current construct: - It could be invoked from an interrupt handler / non-blocking context because cancel_delayed_work() has no such restriction. Also, mptsas_free_fw_event() has no such restriction. - The list is accessed unlocked. It may dequeue a valid work-item but at the time of invoking cancel_delayed_work() the memory may be released or reused because the worker has already run. mptsas_cleanup_fw_event_q() is invoked via mptsas_shutdown() which is always invoked from preemtible context on device shutdown. It is also invoked via mptsas_ioc_reset(, MPT_IOC_POST_RESET) which is a MptResetHandlers callback. The only caller here are mpt_SoftResetHandler(), mpt_HardResetHandler() and mpt_Soft_Hard_ResetHandler(). All these functions have a `sleepFlag' argument and each caller uses caller uses `CAN_SLEEP' here and according to current documentation: | @sleepFlag: Indicates if sleep or schedule must be called So it is safe to sleep. Add mptsas_hotplug_event::users member. Initialize it to one by default so mptsas_free_fw_event() will free the memory. mptsas_cleanup_fw_event_q() will increment its value for items it dequeues and then it may keep a pointer after dropping the lock. Invoke cancel_delayed_work_sync() to cancel the work item and wait if the worker is currently busy. Free the memory afterwards since it owns the last reference to it.

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.
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.
