This looks decidely fishy.

Sorry for that.

irq handler:
	smp_store_mb(log.signal, 1);
	wake_up_process(log.tsk);

worker:
do {
	set_current_state(TASK_INT);

	while (cmpxchg(&log.signal, 1, 0)) {
		reinit_completion(log.complete);
		i915_guc_capture_logs();
	}

	complete_all(log.complete);
	if (kthread_should_stop())
		break;
	
	schedule();
} while(1);
__set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);

flush:
	smp_store_mb(log.signal, 0);
	wait_for_completion(log.complete);


In the end, just the silly locking and placement of complete_all() is
dangerous. reinit_completion() lacks the barrier to be used like this
really, at any rate, racy with the irq handler, so use sparingly or when
you control the irq handler.
Sorry I forgot to add a comment that guc_cancel_log_flush_work_sync() should be invoked only after ensuring that there will be no more flush interrupts, which will happen either by explicitly disabling the interrupt or disabling the logging and that's what is done at the 2 call sites.

Since had covered reinit_completion() under the irq_lock, thought an explicit barrier is not needed.

	spin_lock_irq(&dev_priv->irq_lock);
	if (guc->log.flush_signal) {
		guc->log.flush_signal = false;
		reinit_completion(&guc->log.flush_completion);
		spin_unlock_irq(&dev_priv->irq_lock);
		i915_guc_capture_logs(&dev_priv->drm);
	 	complete_all(&guc->log.flush_completion);

The placement of complete_all isn't right for the case, where
a guc_cancel_log_flush_work_sync() is called but there was no prior flush interrupt received.

(Also not sure if log.signal = 0 is sane,
Did log.signal = 0 for fast cancellation. Will remove that.

A smp_wmb() after reinit_completion(&flush_completion) would be fine ?

or the current callsites really require the flush.)

Sync against a ongoing/pending flush is being done for the 2 forceful flush cases, which will be effective only if the pending flush is completed, so forceful flush should be serialized with a pending flush.

Best regards
