With the addition of new Host2GuC actions related to GuC logging, there
is a need of a lock to serialize them, as they can execute concurrently
with each other and also with other existing actions.

After which patch in this series is this required?

 From patch 6 or 7 saw the problem, when enabled flush interrupts from
boot (guc_log_level >= 0).

That means this patch should come before 6 or 7. :)

Also new HOST2GUC actions LOG_BUFFER_FILE_FLUSH_COMPLETE &
UK_LOG_ENABLE_LOGGING can execute concurrently with each other.

Right I see, from the worker/thread vs debugfs activity.

The code below can sleep waiting for a response from GuC so you cannot
use a spinlock. Mutex I suppose...

Sorry I missed the sleep.
Probably I did not see any problem, in spite of a spinlock, as _wait_for
macro does not sleep when used in atomic context, does a busy wait instead.

I wonder about that in general, since in_atomic is not a reliable indicator. But that is beside the point. You probably haven't seen it because the action completes in the first shorter, atomic sleep, check.
