Currently a tasklet is used to transmit input substream buffer
data. However, tasklets have long been deprecated as being too
heavy on the system by running in irq context - and this is not
a performance critical path. If a higher priority process wants
to run, it must wait for the tasklet to finish before doing so.

Deferring work to a workqueue and executing in process context
should be fine considering the callback already does
f_midi_do_transmit() under the transmit_lock and thus changes in
semantics are ok regarding concurrency - tasklets being serialized
against itself.

The patch looks good to me.
Reviewed-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>


BTW, now I found that the driver doesn't have the cancel call for
tasklet or work at the unbind.  Practically seen it's no big problem,
but its lack is a bait for syzbot.  We may need to just call
cancel_work_sync() somewhere, probably at f_midi_drop_out_substreams()
or f_midi_disable(), but it can be in another patch.


thanks,

Takashi
