Subject: tty: serial: men_z135_uart.c: Fix race between IRQ and set_termios()
From: Johannes Thumshirn <jthumshirn@xxxxxxx>
commit 8117e347406278fd399b077add4e638cd017ae2d upstream.
Fix panic caused by a race between men_z135_intr() and men_z135_set_termios().
men_z135_intr() and men_z135_set_termios() both hold the struct uart_port::lock
spinlock, but men_z135_intr() does a spin_lock_irqsave() and
men_z135_set_termios() does a normal spin_lock(), which can lead to a deadlock
when an interrupt is called while the lock is being helt by
men_z135_set_termios().
This was discovered using a insmod, hardware looppback send/receive, rmmod
stress test.
