This still doesn't solve the fundamental corruption problem:
sdev->event_work has to contain the work entry until the workqueue has
finished executing it (which is some unspecified time in the future).
As soon as you drop the sdev->list_lock, the system thinks
sdev->event_work is available for reuse. If we fire another event
before the work queue finished processing the prior event, the queue
will be corrupted.
Although I hate GFP_ATOMIC allocations, I think that's the only viable
way to get out of this corruption problem (using a mechanism similar to
what I proposed yesterday).
Also, I think Kristin's initial use of execute_in_user_context() was a
good call .. if we already have a user context, there's no need to
bother the workqueue ... some of these events will likely trigger from
thread backed kernel daemons.
