It seems that ce6e74f2 ("RDMA/nes: Make nesadapter->phy_lock usage
consistent") maybe introduced a locking bug. sparse warns:
drivers/infiniband/hw/nes/nes_hw.c:2642:9: warning: context imbalance in 'nes_process_mac_intr' - different lock contexts for basic block
And indeed in nes_process_mac_intr(), you do
spin_lock_irqsave(&nesadapter->phy_lock, flags);
at the very beginning, but then the unlock only happens inside
if (nesadapter->mac_sw_state[mac_number] != NES_MAC_SW_IDLE) {
or inside
if (mac_status & (NES_MAC_INT_LINK_STAT_CHG | NES_MAC_INT_XGMII_EXT)) {
so it seems it is possible to return from this function with the lock
held.
- R.
