A virtio transport is free to implement some of the callbacks in virtio_config_ops in a matter that they cannot be called from atomic context (e.g. virtio-ccw, which maps a lot of the callbacks to channel I/O, which is an inherently asynchronous mechanism). This can be very surprising for developers using the much more common virtio-pci transport, just to find out that things break when used on s390. The documentation for virtio_config_ops now contains a comment explaining this, but it makes sense to add a might_sleep() annotation to various wrapper functions in the virtio core to avoid surprises later. Note that annotations are NOT added to two classes of calls: - direct calls from device drivers (all current callers should be fine, however) - calls which clearly won't be made from atomic context (such as those ultimately coming in via the driver core) Signed-off-by: Cornelia Huck <cohuck@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Michael S.
