bigmac_init_rings() has an argument signaling if it is called from the interrupt handler. This is used to decide between GFP_KERNEL and GFP_ATOMIC for memory allocations. But it also checks in_interrupt() to handle invocations which come from the timer callback bigmac_timer() via bigmac_hw_init(), which is invoked with 'in_irq = 0'. While the timer callback is clearly not in hard interrupt context it is still not sleepable context. Rename the argument to `non_blocking' and set it to true if invoked from the timer callback or the interrupt handler which allows to remove the in_interrupt() check and makes the code consistent.

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.
