Linux kernel source tree
e2c7114a12
Some control messages must be sent from atomic context. The mailbox takes sleeping locks and uses a waitqueue so add a "posted" version of communication. Trylock the semaphore and if that's successful kick of the device communication. The device communication will be completed from a workqueue, which will also release the semaphore. If locks are taken queue the message and return. Schedule a different workqueue to take the semaphore and run the communication. Note that the there are currently no atomic users which would actually need the return value, so all replies to posted messages are just freed.

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.
