transport_handle_cdb_direct() uses in_interrupt() to detect if it is safe to sleep. It produces a stack trace and returns with an error which is clearly for debugging. The usage of in_interrupt() in drivers is phased out and Linus clearly requested that code which changes behaviour depending on context should either be separated or the context be conveyed in an argument passed by the caller, which usually knows the context. transport_handle_cdb_direct() has a comment saying that it may only be invoked from process context. It invokes transport_generic_new_cmd() which performs GFP_KERNEL memory allocations. in_interrupt() does not detect all the contexts where it is invalid to sleep (for the blocking GFP_KERNEL allocation) as it fails to detect sections with disabled preemption. Replace the in_interrupt() based check with a might_sleep() annotation. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201220203638.43615-7-bigeasy@linutronix.de Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.

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.
