qib_7322intr() could introduce double locks on &dev->rdi.pending_lock if it preempts other execution units requiring the same locks. <Deadlock #1> qib_notify_error_qp() --> spin_lock(&dev->rdi.pending_lock) <interrupt> --> qib_7322intr() --> qib_ib_piobufavail() --> spin_lock_irqsave(&dev->rdi.pending_lock) <Deadlock #2> qib_flush_qp_waiters() --> spin_lock(&dev->rdi.pending_lock) <interrupt> --> qib_7220intr() --> qib_ib_piobufavail() --> spin_lock_irqsave(&dev->rdi.pending_lock) This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am developing for irq-related deadlock. To prevent the potential deadlock, the patch uses spin_lock_irqsave() on &dev->rdi.pending_lock inside qib_notify_error_qp() and qib_flush_qp_waiters() to prevent the possible deadlock scenario.
