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/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_init.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_init.c b/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_init.c index 3cafbef..c8d0b12 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_init.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_init.c @@ -1818,14 +1818,14 @@ qla2x00_init_rings(scsi_qla_host_t *vha) qla2x00_init_response_q_entries(rsp); } - spin_lock_irqsave(&ha->vport_slock, flags); + spin_lock(&ha->vport_slock); /* Clear RSCN queue. */ list_for_each_entry(vp, &ha->vp_list, list) { vp->rscn_in_ptr = 0; vp->rscn_out_ptr = 0; } - spin_unlock_irqrestore(&ha->vport_slock, flags); + spin_unlock(&ha->vport_slock); ha->isp_ops->config_rings(vha); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
