This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mfd: dln2: Run event handler loop under spinlock to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mfd-dln2-run-event-handler-loop-under-spinlock.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 5bf2bf50ef635242db88b392b645a9e582f51952 Author: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jul 23 16:02:46 2020 +0300 mfd: dln2: Run event handler loop under spinlock [ Upstream commit 3d858942250820b9adc35f963a257481d6d4c81d ] The event handler loop must be run with interrupts disabled.

Recently xHCI driver switched to tasklets in the commit 36dc01657b49 ("usb: host: xhci: Support running urb giveback in tasklet context"). The handle_irq_event_* functions are expected to be called with interrupts disabled and they rightfully complain here because we run in tasklet context with interrupts enabled. Use a event spinlock to protect event handler from being interrupted. Note, that there are only two users of this GPIO and ADC drivers and both of them are using generic_handle_irq() which makes above happen.
