Hi, I haven't had time to do a git bisect yet, but just saw this after
rebuilding the kernel in the last day or so:

It seems like some of the routines called during the driver
initialization may sleep while the driver_lock is held and irqs are
disabled.

As eata2x_detect is only called during module load the lock seems
entirely pointless and should be removed, like in the patch below:

Thanks, I've rebuilt the kernel with this patch applied and running the rebuilt kernel fine using a DPT 2044W SCSI adaptor:

$ lspci|grep DPT
00:0c.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec (formerly DPT) SmartCache/Raid I-IV Controller (rev 02)


$ dmesg|grep -i eata
