From: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Explain why the plain spin_lock() suffices in current code, even when the stat_lock is also used by zfcp_qdio_int_req() in tasklet context. We could also promote the spin_lock() to a spin_lock_irqsave(), but that would just obfuscate the locking even further.
