Subject: [patch] ns83820: spin_lock_irq() => spin_lock()
Date: Wed, 13 Oct 2010 21:18:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101013191852.GD6060@bicker> (raw)
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.
