We could be a bit more specific about what does this mutex guard.
Is it only io_region, or cp, irb and the new regions a well? ->state does
not seem to be covered, but should need some sort of synchronisation
too, or?

I'm not sure. IIRC Pierre had some ideas about locking in the fsm?


Yes I postponed this work to not collide with your patch series.

Do you think I should provide a new version of the FSM reworking series based on the last comment I got?

I would take into account that the asynchronous commands will come with your patch series and only provide the framework changes.


Regards,
Pierre
