Subject: [PATCH 3/3] via-velocity: Fix races on shared interrupts
Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2010 16:55:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100205165545.28832c53@marrow.netinsight.se> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100205165253.3f316b98@marrow.netinsight.se>

This patch fixes two potential races in the velocity driver:

* Move the ACK and error handler to the interrupt handler. This fixes a
  potential race with shared interrupts when the other device interrupts
  before the NAPI poll handler has finished. As the velocity driver hasn't
  acked it's own interrupt, it will then steal the interrupt from the
  other device.

* Use spin_trylock in the interrupt handler. To avoid having the
  interrupt off for long periods of time, velocity_poll uses non-irqsave
  spinlocks. In the current code, the interrupt handler will deadlock if
  e.g., the NAPI poll handler is executing when an interrupt (for another
  device) comes in since it tries to take the already held lock.
