From: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@gmail.com>
Add a helper function equivalent to the C's might_sleep(), which
serves as a debugging aid and a potential scheduling point.
Note that this function can only be used in a nonatomic context.
This will be used by Rust version of read_poll_timeout().
[boqun: Use file_from_location() to get a C string instead of changing
__might_sleep()]

Ah, you're right.

I can't find C docs on might_sleep(). Device driver developers
probably don't need to use might_sleep() directly. I can't think of a
good example.
How about adding a link to the header file where the might_sleep macro
is defined, like this?
/// Annotation for functions that can sleep.
///
/// Equivalent to the C side [`might_sleep`] macro, this function serves as

let file = kernel::file_from_location(loc);
// SAFETY: `file.as_ptr()` is valid for reading and guaranteed to be nul-terminated.
unsafe { crate::bindings::__might_sleep(file.as_ptr().cast(), loc.line() as i32) }

Sounds good to me. Though, for APIs that have rendered docs, we
typically point to those instead:
https://docs.kernel.org/driver-api/basics.html#c.might_sleep
(Ideally those kernel.org docs would then have a source view
themselves, but that is a different problem... :)
Cheers,
Miguel

Ah, somehow, I overlooked that. Thanks!

Thanks, applied. Although I kept the parentheses because might_sleep()
is a C macro, in the same spirit of [1].
