Subject: Re: [patch] zfcp: spin_lock_irqsave() is not nestable

Dan, many thanks for catching this! Sparse did not notice, is there 
other tooling that would find such things?

James, Martin, could you please queue this as fix for one of my patches 
that went into the 4.9 merge window, so for 4.9-rc I guess?
