From 3ae3d67ba705c754a3c91ac009f9ce73a0e7286a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vishal Verma Date: Wed, 10 May 2017 15:01:30 -0600 Subject: libnvdimm: add an atomic vs process context flag to rw_bytes nsio_rw_bytes can clear media errors, but this cannot be done while we are in an atomic context due to locking within ACPI. From the BTT, ->rw_bytes may be called either from atomic or process context depending on whether the calls happen during initialization or during IO. During init, we want to ensure error clearing happens, and the flag marking process context allows nsio_rw_bytes to do that. When called during IO, we're in atomic context, and error clearing can be skipped.
