Previously, we assumed we could use mutex_trylock() within an atomic context, falling back to a worker if contended. However, such trickery is illegal inside interrupt context, and so we need to always use a worker under such circumstances. As we normally are in process context, we can typically use a plain mutex, and only defer to a work when we know we are being called from an interrupt path.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
