Miller" , kernel-janitors@vger.kernel.org, mingo@elte.hu This is essentially cosmetic. At this point the IRQs are already disabled because we called spin_lock_irq(&dev->rx_info.lock). The real bug here was fixed back in 2006 in 3a10ccebe: "[PATCH] lock validator: fix ns83820.c irq-flags bug". Prior to that patch, it was a "spin_lock_irq is not nestable" type bug. The 2006 patch changes the unlock to not re-enable IRQs, which eliminates the potential deadlock. But this bit was missed. We should change the lock function as well so it balances nicely.
