I'm interested in the "something might have changed" part.  The only thing I can
see is if rproc_trigger_recovery() has been called from debugfs between the time
the mutex is released but just before rproc_trigger_recovery() is called in
rproc_crash_handler_work().  In this case we would be done twice, something your
patch prevents.  Have you found other scenarios?

Thanks,
