Subject: [patch] sgi-xp: nested calls to spin_lock_irqsave()
Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2011 06:48:05 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111215064805.GA2776@elgon.mountain> (raw)
The code here has a nested spin_lock_irqsave(). It's not needed since
IRQs are already disabled and it causes a problem because it means that
IRQs won't be enabled again at the end. The second call to
spin_lock_irqsave() will overwrite the value of irq_flags and we can't
restore the proper settings.

This is a static checker fix. It's possible that no one hits this bug
in real life if the function is always called with IRQs disabled.
