The wait-for-idle used from within the shrinker_lock_uninterruptible depends on the struct_mutex locking state being known and declared to i915_request_wait(). As it is conceivable that we reach the vmap notifier from underneath struct_mutex (and so keep on relying on the mutex_trylock_recursive), we should not blindly call i915_request_wait. In the process we can remove the dubious polling to acquire struct_mutex, and simply act, or not, on a successful trylock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
