Subject: [PATCH 3/6] ncr5380: Dont re-enter NCR5380_select()
Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2016 10:07:06 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160222230704.754680814@telegraphics.com.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20160222230703.994951661@telegraphics.com.au
[-- Attachment #1: ncr5380-dont-reenter-NCR5380_select --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3347 bytes --]
Calling NCR5380_select() from the abort handler causes various problems.
Firstly, it means potentially re-entering NCR5380_select(). Secondly, it
means that the lock is released, which permits the EH handlers to be
re-entered. The combination results in crashes. Don't do it.
Fixes: 8b00c3d5d40d ("ncr5380: Implement new eh_abort_handler")
