We need to make sure implementations don't cheat and don't have a

catch it.

I'm not sure whether this is the best way to make sure all the
might_sleep() callsites trigger, and it's a bit ugly in the code flow.
But it gets the job done.

Just for the sake of better documenting this how about adding this to
include/linux/kernel.h right next to might_sleep():

#define disallow_sleeping_if(cond)ÂÂÂ for((cond) ? preempt_disable() :
(void)0; (cond); preempt_disable())

(Just from the back of my head, might contain peanuts and/or hints of
errors).
I think these magic for blocks aren't used in the kernel. goto breaks
them, and we use goto a lot.

Yeah, good argument.

I think a disallow/allow_sleep() pair with
the conditional preept_disable/enable() calls would be nice though. I can
do that if the overall idea sticks.

Sounds like a good idea to me as well.
