Subject: [PATCH] Convert idr's internal locking to _irqsave variant
Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2006 13:45:12 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <adaveq2v9gn.fsf@cisco.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20060712093820.GA9218@elte.hu

Currently, the code in lib/idr.c uses a bare spin_lock(&idp->lock) to
do internal locking.  This is a nasty trap for code that might call
idr functions from different contexts; for example, it seems perfectly
reasonable to call idr_get_new() from process context and idr_remove()
from interrupt context -- but with the current locking this would lead
to a potential deadlock.

The simplest fix for this is to just convert the idr locking to use
spin_lock_irqsave().

In particular, this fixes a very complicated locking issue detected by
lockdep, involving the ib_ipoib driver's priv->lock and dev->_xmit_lock,
which get involved with the ib_sa module's query_idr.lock.
