Takashi Iwai f7debfe540 ALSA: seq: virmidi: Offload the output event processing
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

README

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
