The virmidi sequencer stuff tries to translate the rawmidi bytes to sequencer events and deliver the packets at trigger callback. The amount of the whole process of these translations and deliveries depends on the incoming rawmidi bytes, and we have no limit for that; this was the cause of a CPU soft lockup that had been reported and fixed recently.
Although we've fixed the soft lockup by putting the temporary unlock and cond_resched(), it's rather a quick band aid. In this patch, meanwhile, the event parsing and delivery process is offloaded to a dedicated work, and the trigger callback just kicks it off. It has three merits, at least:
- The processing is always done in a sleepable context, which can assure the event delivery with non-atomic flag without hackish is_atomic() usage.
- Other relevant codes can be simplified, reducing the lines
- It makes me happier
