This includes conditional locking, allocation mode (GFP_*) decisions and avoidance of code paths which might sleep. In the long run, usage of 'preemptible, in_*irq etc.' should be banned from driver code completely. This is the second version of the first batch of related changes. V1 can be found here: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200927194846.045411263@linutronix.de Changes vs. V1: - Rebased to net-next - Fixed the half done rename sillyness in the ENIC patch. - Fixed the IONIC driver fallout. - Picked up the SFC fix from Edward and adjusted the GFP_KERNEL change accordingly. - Addressed the review comments vs. BCRFMAC. - Collected Reviewed/Acked-by tags as appropriate. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
