Make napi_hash_lock IRQ safe. It is used during the control path, and is taken and released in napi_hash_add and napi_hash_del, which will typically be called by calls to napi_enable and napi_disable. This change avoids a deadlock in pcnet32 (and other any other drivers which follow the same pattern): CPU 0: pcnet32_open spin_lock_irqsave(&lp->lock, ...) napi_enable napi_hash_add <- before this executes, CPU 1 proceeds spin_lock(napi_hash_lock) [...] spin_unlock_irqrestore(&lp->lock, flags); CPU 1: pcnet32_close napi_disable napi_hash_del spin_lock(napi_hash_lock) < INTERRUPT > pcnet32_interrupt spin_lock(lp->lock) <- DEADLOCK Changing the napi_hash_lock to be IRQ safe prevents the IRQ from firing on CPU 1 until napi_hash_lock is released, preventing the deadlock.
