issuecommand() is using in_atomic() to decide if it is safe to invoke schedule() while waiting for the command to be accepted. Usage of in_atomic() for this is only half correct as it can not detect all condition where it is not allowed to schedule(). Also Linus clearly requested that code which changes behaviour depending on context should either be seperated or the context be conveyed in an argument passed by the caller, which usually knows the context. Chasing the call chains leading up to issuecommand() is straight forward, but airo_link() and airo_get_stats() would require to pass the context through a quite large amount of functions. As this is ancient hardware, avoid the churn and enforce the invocation of those functions through the JOB machinery.

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.
