Subject: 8250: fix possible deadlock between serial8250_handle_port() and serial8250_interrupt()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.21~11
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4bf3631cdb012591667ab927fcd7719d92837833;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

8250: fix possible deadlock between serial8250_handle_port() and serial8250_interrupt()

Commit 40b36daa introduced possibility that serial8250_backup_timeout() ->
serial8250_handle_port() locks port.lock without disabling irqs, thus
allowing deadlock against interrupt handler (port.lock is acquired in
serial8250_interrupt()).

Spotted by lockdep.
