The flushing of pending work in the EC driver uses drain_workqueue()
to flush the event handling work that can requeue itself via
advance_transaction(), but this is problematic, because that
work may also be requeued from the query workqueue.
Namely, if an EC transaction is carried out during the execution of
a query handler, it involves calling advance_transaction() which
may queue up the event handling work again. This causes the kernel
to complain about attempts to add a work item to the EC event
workqueue while it is being drained and worst-case it may cause a
valid event to be skipped.
To avoid this problem, introduce two new counters, events_in_progress
and queries_in_progress, incremented when a work item is queued on
the event workqueue or the query workqueue, respectively, and
decremented at the end of the corresponding work function, and make
acpi_ec_dispatch_gpe() the workqueues in a loop until the both of
these counters are zero (or system wakeup is pending) instead of
calling acpi_ec_flush_work().
At the same time, change __acpi_ec_flush_work() to call
flush_workqueue() instead of drain_workqueue() to flush the event
workqueue.
While at it, use the observation that the work item queued in
acpi_ec_query() cannot be pending at that time, because it is used
only once, to simplify the code in there.
Additionally, clean up a comment in acpi_ec_query() and adjust white
space in acpi_ec_event_processor().

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. 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.
