Subject: [patch 12/38] atl1c: Fix work event interrupt/task races

2.6.38-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Tim Gardner <timg@....com>

commit cb771838715b1c470bc5735bdae709b33b18e0ad upstream.

The mechanism used to initiate work events from the interrupt
handler has a classic read/modify/write race between the interrupt
handler that sets the condition, and the worker task that reads and
clears the condition. Close these races by using atomic
bit fields.
