Subject: IB/mlx4: Fix potential deadlock when sending mad to wire
From: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 90c1d8b6350cca9d8a234f03c77a317a7613bcee upstream.
send_mad_to_wire takes the same spinlock that is taken in
the interrupt context. Therefore, it needs irqsave/restore.
Fixes: b9c5d6a64358 ('IB/mlx4: Add multicast group (MCG) paravirtualization for SR-IOV')
