I've been waiting for something to happen but nobody replied.
Bart, you were fine with 1/2 as posted but not too happy about 2/2.
Assuming we keep 1/2 as is and I remove just the
"WARN_ON_ONCE(!irqs_disabled());" from 2/2 (keeping the
assert_spin_locked()), would that improve your mood? Lockdep would still
perform full validation, yell if __transport_check_aborted_status() was
invoked without locking and also yell abut missing IRQ-save at locking
time of ->t_state_lock).
