Ahmed S. Darwish 4f6a57c23b scsi: qla2xxx: Remove in_interrupt() from qla83xx-specific code
qla83xx_wait_logic() is used to control the frequency of device IDC lock
retries. If in_interrupt() is true, it does 20 loops of cpu_relax().
Otherwise, it sleeps for 100ms and yields the CPU.

While in_interrupt() is ill-defined and does not provide what the name
suggests, it is not needed here: that qla83xx_wait_logic() is exclusively
called by qla83xx_idc_lock() / unlock(), and they always run from process
context. Below is an analysis of all the idc lock/unlock callers, in order
of appearance:

  - qla_os.c:
      qla83xx_nic_core_unrecoverable_work(),
      qla83xx_idc_state_handler_work(),
      qla83xx_nic_core_reset_work(),
      qla83xx_service_idc_aen(), all workqueue context

  - qla_os.c: qla83xx_check_nic_core_fw_alive(), has msleep()

  - qla_os.c: qla83xx_set_drv_presence(), called once from
    qla2x00_abort_isp(), which is bound to process-context ->abort_isp()
    hook. It also invokes wait_for_completion_timeout() through the chain
    qla2x00_configure_hba() => qla24xx_link_initialize() =>
    qla2x00_mailbox_command().

  - qla_os.c: qla83xx_clear_drv_presence(), which is called from
    qla2x00_abort_isp() discussed above, and from qla2x00_remove_one()
    which is PCI process-context ->remove() hook.

  - qla_os.c: qla83xx_need_reset_handler(), has a one second msleep() in
    a loop.

  - qla_os.c: qla83xx_device_bootstrap(), called only by
    qla83xx_idc_state_handler(), which has multiple msleep()
    invocations.

  - qla_os.c: qla83xx_idc_state_handler(), multiple msleep()
    invocations.

  - qla_attr.c: qla2x00_sysfs_write_reset(), sysfs bin_attribute
    ->write() hook, process context

  - qla_init.c: qla83xx_nic_core_fw_load()
      => qla_init.c: qla2x00_initialize_adapter()
        => bound to isp_operations ->initialize_adapter() hook
        ** => qla_os.c: qla2x00_probe_one(), PCI ->probe() process ctx

  - qla_init.c: qla83xx_initiating_reset(), msleep() in a loop.

  - qla_init.c: qla83xx_nic_core_reset(), called by
    qla83xx_nic_core_reset_work(), workqueue context.

Remove the in_interrupt() check, and thus replace the entirety of
qla83xx_wait_logic() with an msleep(QLA83XX_WAIT_LOGIC_MS).

Mark qla83xx_idc_lock() / unlock() with "Context: task, can sleep".

README

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.
