i915 notification is executed in a spinlock, thus it must not sleep; i.e. we can't use kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL or such. For making it working properly, move the notification handler in a work, and handle it gracefully. We have already such a work, and it was used just at the start. This can be re-used in a more generic hotplug handling. Also, the patch adds the proper call of cancel_work_sync() to the destructor. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
