The tasklet is an old API that should be deprecated, usually can be converted to another decent API. In FireWire driver, a tasklet is still used for offloading the AMDTP PCM stream handling. It can be achieved gracefully with a work queued, too. This patch replaces the tasklet usage in firewire-lib driver with a simple work. The conversion is fairly straightforward but for the in_interrupt() checks that are replaced with the check using the current_work(). Note that in_interrupt() in amdtp_packet tracepoint is still kept as is. This is the place that is probed by both softirq of 1394 OHCI and a user task of a PCM application, and the work handling is already filtered in amdtp_domain_stream_pcm_pointer().

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.
