[Intel-xe] [PATCH] drm/xe: Fix locking in CT fast path

[Maarten Lankhorst]

Hey,

I'm afraid this is not allowed, you can't take a mutex in an irq handler, not even a trylock.

 From Documentation/locking/mutex-design.rst:

The mutex subsystem checks and enforces the following rules:
...
     - Mutexes may not be used in hardware or software interrupt
       contexts such as tasklets and timers.

Lockdep will likely still splat too as a result.

Cheers,
~Maarten
