And you do not need to clear ->lock_flags in my_unlock(). But when I look at original patch again, I no longer understand why do you need pm8001_ha->lock_flags at all. Of course I do not understand this code, I am sure I missed something, but at first glance it seems that only this sequence spin_unlock_irq(&pm8001_ha->lock); t->task_done(t); spin_lock_irq(&pm8001_ha->lock); should be fixed? If yes, why you can't simply do spin_unlock() + spin_lock() around t->task_done() ? This won't enable irqs, but spin_unlock_irqrestore() doesn't necessarily enables irqs too, so ->task_done() can run with irqs disabled? And note that the pattern above has a lot of users, perhaps it makes sense to start with something like the patch below? Hmm. there is another oddity in this code, for example mpi_sata_completion() does } else if (t->uldd_task) { spin_unlock_irqrestore(&t->task_state_lock, flags); pm8001_ccb_task_free(pm8001_ha, t, ccb, tag); mb();/* ditto */ spin_unlock_irq(&pm8001_ha->lock); t->task_done(t); spin_lock_irq(&pm8001_ha->lock); } else if (!t->uldd_task) { spin_unlock_irqrestore(&t->task_state_lock, flags); pm8001_ccb_task_free(pm8001_ha, t, ccb, tag); mb();/*ditto*/ spin_unlock_irq(&pm8001_ha->lock); t->task_done(t); spin_lock_irq(&pm8001_ha->lock); } and both branches do the same code? mpi_sata_event(), pm8001_chip_sata_req() too. Imho, whatever you do, the changelog should tell more.
