[PATCH] acpi/ghes: Prevent sleeping with spinlock held

From: Ira Weiny
Date: Fri Feb 02 2024 - 13:16:40 EST


Smatch caught that cxl_cper_post_event() is called with a spinlock held
or preemption disabled.[1] There is no need for the callback to sleep.

Replace the RW semaphore with a RW lock.

A static call was considered but ARM does not select HAVE_STATIC_CALL
and in that case setting the function pointer uses a RW semaphore.
