Subject[PATCH] [IrDA+SMP] Lockup in handle_IRQ_event
From
Date
Hi Linus,

Please find enclosed a patch against 2.4.0-prerelease that :

- Fixes a lockup in handle_IRQ_event when using IrDA on an SMP
machine. It changes spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irq pairs to
spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore, which seems to be the
logical thing to do.

- Removes 2 unused functions that are broken on SPARC (hashbin_unlock
does a restore_flags when save_flags is done in hashbin_lock, which
messes register windows).

With this patch, IrDA is rock solid on my x86 SMP box (at least with
my usage patern...). It was crashing immediatly before (NMI watchdog).

A previous version of this patch has been reviewed by Andrew Morton,
who said it looked ok.

Thanks for applying it to your tree.

M.
