    dmaengine: idxd: Convert spinlock to mutex to lock evl workqueue · d5638de8
    Rex Zhang authored
    drain_workqueue() cannot be called safely in a spinlocked context due to
    possible task rescheduling. In the multi-task scenario, calling
    queue_work() while drain_workqueue() will lead to a Call Trace as
    pushing a work on a draining workqueue is not permitted in spinlocked
    context.
        Call Trace:

    The current implementation uses a spinlock to protect event log workqueue
    and will lead to the Call Trace due to potential task rescheduling.
    
    To address the locking issue, convert the spinlock to mutex, allowing
    the drain_workqueue() to be called in a safe mutex-locked context.
    
    This change ensures proper synchronization when accessing the event log
    workqueue, preventing potential Call Trace and improving the overall
    robustness of the code.
