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).
