Hmmm, indeed.. I must have dropped this recently as the last patch for
libiscsi posted below still has been converted to spin_lock_irq() for
session->lock here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=128952081412461&w=2
Converting back to spin_lock_irq() usage for the moment.. Thanks alot
of noticing this..
MikeC and Hannes, do you think this is safe to use spin_lock_bh() as
well..?
