From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> If spin_lock_irqsave is called twice in a row with the same second argument, the interrupt state at the point of the second call overwrites the value saved by the first call. Indeed, the second call does not need to save the interrupt state, so it is changed to a simple spin_lock. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression lock1,lock2; expression flags; @@ *spin_lock_irqsave(lock1,flags) ... when != flags *spin_lock_irqsave(lock2,flags) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/misc/sgi-xp/xpc_uv.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/misc/sgi-xp/xpc_uv.c b/drivers/misc/sgi-xp/xpc_uv.c index 1f59ee2..7aeaef7 100644 --- a/drivers/misc/sgi-xp/xpc_uv.c +++ b/drivers/misc/sgi-xp/xpc_uv.c @@ -451,9 +451,9 @@ xpc_handle_activate_mq_msg_uv(struct xpc_partition *part, if (msg->activate_gru_mq_desc_gpa != part_uv->activate_gru_mq_desc_gpa) { - spin_lock_irqsave(&part_uv->flags_lock, irq_flags); + spin_lock(&part_uv->flags_lock); part_uv->flags &= ~XPC_P_CACHED_ACTIVATE_GRU_MQ_DESC_UV; - spin_unlock_irqrestore(&part_uv->flags_lock, irq_flags); + spin_unlock(&part_uv->flags_lock); part_uv->activate_gru_mq_desc_gpa = msg->activate_gru_mq_desc_gpa; } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
