4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 6e266610eb6553cfb7e7eb5d11914bd01509c406 ] The driver may sleep under a spinlock. The function call path is: rr_close (acquire the spinlock) free_irq --> may sleep To fix it, free_irq is moved to the place without holding the spinlock. This bug is found by my static analysis tool(DSAC) and checked by my code review. Signed-off-by: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
