Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 146/218] rapidio/rionet: fix deadlock on SMP

4.2.8-ckt7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Aurelien Jacquiot <a-jacquiot@...com>

commit 36915976eca58f2eefa040ba8f9939672564df61 upstream.

Fix deadlocking during concurrent receive and transmit operations on SMP
platforms caused by the use of incorrect lock: on transmit 'tx_lock'
spinlock should be used instead of 'lock' which is used for receive
operation.

This fix is applicable to kernel versions starting from v2.15.
