l sync interrupt handling is no longer predictable (due to being interrupt-sourced from two different heads running at different speeds). This raises the probability of the tasklet trying to run while the userspace DRI is doing things to the GPU (and manipulating the DRM lock). The fix is to change the relevant spinlock semantics to be the interrupt-blocking form. After this change I am no longer able to trigger the lockup; the longest test run so far was 20 hours (test stopped after that point). Note: I have examined the places where this spinlock is being employed; all are reasonably short bounded sequences and should be suitable for interrupts being blocked without impacting overall kernel interrupt response latency.
