[PATCH] cciss: fix spinlock use

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



fail_all_cmds is called (only) from do_cciss_intr with 
spinlock acquired.
So when in an error-handling situation,
fail_all_cmds() is called it attempts to *reacquire* the lock.
This has been found and analysed by Prarit Bhargava.

This patch removes the spinlock lock/unlock from fail_all_cmds and adds a
spin_unlock after the call to fail_all_cmds before return.
