Linux kernel source tree
e43111f52b
Dan pointed out that Smatch is concerned about this code because it uses
spin_lock_irqsave() and then calls wait_event_lock_irq() which enables
irqs before going to sleep. The comment above the function says it
should be called with interrupts enabled, but we simply hope that's true
without really confirming that. Let's add a might_sleep() here to
confirm that interrupts and preemption aren't disabled. Once we do that,
we can change the lock to be non-saving, spin_lock_irq(), to clarify
that we don't expect irqs to be disabled. If irqs are disabled by
callers they're going to be enabled anyway in the wait_event_lock_irq()
call which would be bad.
This should make Smatch happier and find bad callers faster with the
might_sleep(). We can drop the WARN_ON() in the caller because we have
the might_sleep() now, simplifying the code.

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 reStructuredText 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.
