Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 817a7c9967 scsi: message: fusion: Remove in_interrupt() usage in mptsas_cleanup_fw_event_q()
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.
