Hi,

Changelog v2
------------

- Rebase on top of v5.11-rc3

- Rebase on top of John's patch "scsi: libsas and users: Remove notifier
indirection", as it affects every other patch. Include it in this
series (patch #2).

- Introduce patches #13 => #19, which modify call sites back to use the
original libsas notifier function names without _gfp() suffix.

- Collect r-b tags

Cover letter
------------

In the discussion about preempt count consistency across kernel
configurations:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200914204209.256266093@linutronix.de

it was concluded that the usage of in_interrupt() and related context
checks should be removed from non-core code.

This includes memory allocation mode decisions (GFP_*). In the long run,
usage of in_interrupt() and its siblings should be banned from driver
code completely.

This series addresses SCSI libsas. Basically, the function:

=> drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_init.c:
struct asd_sas_event *sas_alloc_event(struct asd_sas_phy *phy)
{
...
gfp_t flags = in_interrupt() ? GFP_ATOMIC : GFP_KERNEL;
event = kmem_cache_zalloc(sas_event_cache, flags);
...
}

is transformed so that callers explicitly pass the gfp_t memory
allocation flags. Affected libsas clients are modified accordingly.

Patches #1, #2 => #7 have "Fixes: " tags and address bugs the were
noticed during the context analysis.

Thanks!
