RE: [RFC-v2 2/2] mmc: sdhci-msm: Add support for bus bandwidth voting

[ppvk]

Hi Doug,

You no longer seeing this warning stack with the latest patch set.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/23/407

The latest patch set is based on OPP framework and no workqueue's used to queue the work.
Can you give a try with the latest patch and check if this helps ?

Thanks and Regards,
Pradeep

Drive-by feedback here without any full review of your patch...
Someone had your patch applied and sent me a stack trace with a warning on it.  That warning showed:

The trace shown was:

I believe the way to interpret this is that you need to be running your work on a workqueue marked for memory reclaim.  That means you can't use the system_wq to queue your work.  Without being an expert, a quick guess would be that you should be queueing your work on the "kblockd_workqueue" using one of the functions for this.
