>That must be done from task context for the calls into the input subystem. Hence we must defer the work twice. First to safely switch from the debug trap (NMI-like context) to hardirq and then, secondly, to get from hardirq to the system workqueue.

I apologize for my poor writing skills, your answer is more professional and accurate. I will replace this part with your description in the V6.
