mutex's lead to sleeps which should be avoided in atomic context. Hence this patch replaces it with the spin_locks. Below is the stack trace: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:** in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, pid: 89, name: kworker/u4:3 CPU: 1 PID: 89 Comm: kworker/u4:3 Tainted: G W 4.14.43 #8 Workqueue: events_unbound commit_work Call Trace: dump_stack+0x4d/0x63 ___might_sleep+0x11f/0x12e mutex_lock+0x20/0x42 amdgpu_atom_execute_table+0x26/0x72 enable_disp_power_gating_v2_1+0x85/0xae dce110_enable_display_power_gating+0x83/0x1b1 dce110_power_down_fe+0x4a/0x6d dc_post_update_surfaces_to_stream+0x59/0x87 amdgpu_dm_do_flip+0x239/0x298 amdgpu_dm_commit_planes.isra.23+0x379/0x54b ? drm_calc_timestamping_constants+0x14b/0x15c amdgpu_dm_atomic_commit_tail+0x4fc/0x5d2 ? wait_for_common+0x5b/0x69 commit_tail+0x42/0x64 process_one_work+0x1b0/0x314 worker_thread+0x1cb/0x2c1 ? create_worker+0x1da/0x1da kthread+0x156/0x15e ? kthread_flush_work+0xea/0xea ret_from_fork+0x22/0x40 V2: Added stack trace in commit message.
