    Subject[PATCH v7 2/8] block: clarify context for refcount increment helpers
    Date
    Let us clarify the context under which the helpers to increment the
    refcount for the gendisk and request_queue can be called under. We
    make this explicit on the places where we may sleep with might_sleep().

    We don't address the decrement context yet, as that needs some extra
    work and fixes, but will be addressed in the next patch.
