From: Zhenzhong Duan <zhenzhong.duan@xxxxxxxxx> commit 9a655c77ff8fc65699a3f98e237db563b37c439b upstream. tpk_write()/tpk_close() could be interrupted when holding a mutex, then in timer handler tpk_write() may be called again trying to acquire same mutex, lead to deadlock. Google syzbot reported this issue with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP enabled: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:938 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 0, name: swapper/1 1 lock held by swapper/1/0: ...

Fix it by using spinlock in process context instead of mutex and having interrupt disabled in critical section.
