Subject: [patch] Staging: generic_serial: fix double locking bug
Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2011 19:28:31 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110228192831.GI18043@bicker> (raw)

spin_lock_irqsave() is not nestable.  The second time that it gets
called it overwrites the "flags" variable and so IRQs can't be restored
properly.

Oh.  Crap.  I don't want to adopt these drivers.  But I already wrote
the patch before I read the TODO file, so I'm still going to submit it.
