The driver did sleeping allocations even before the commit. But wher is "here"? Can we look into not holding that lock over an allocation if it is preferable? If not we should at least pass down the gfp_flags so that only the caller(s) that can't sleep pass GFP_ATOMIC.

According the comment of els_ios_lock, it's used to protect els ios list, I think we can move down the spin lock like this: --- a/drivers/scsi/elx/libefc/efc_els.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/elx/libefc/efc_els.c @@ -46,8 +46,6 @@ efc_els_io_alloc_size(struct efc_node *node, u32 reqlen, u32 rsplen) efc = node->efc; - spin_lock_irqsave(&node->els_ios_lock, flags); - if (!node->els_io_enabled) { efc_log_err(efc, "els io alloc disabled\n"); spin_unlock_irqrestore(&node->els_ios_lock, flags); @@ -88,6 +86,8 @@ efc_els_io_alloc_size(struct efc_node *node, u32 reqlen, u32 rsplen) els = NULL; } + spin_lock_irqsave(&node->els_ios_lock, flags); + if (els) { /* initialize fields */ els->els_retries_remaining = EFC_FC_ELS_DEFAULT_RETRIES;

Please submit it to the maintainer as a proper patch.

A spin lock is taken here so we should use GFP_ATOMIC.
