The lock ordering is broken here. irq_sw_resend() is invoked with
desc->lock held and takes irq_resend_lock.

Lockdep clearly would have told you...

	raw_spin_lock_irq(&irq_resend_lock);
        while (!hlist_empty(...)) {
        	desc = hlist_entry(irq_resend_list.first, ...);
		hlist_del_init(&desc->resend_node);
                raw_spin_unlock(&...);
                desc->handle_irq();
                raw_spin_lock(&...);
        }        

Hmm?

Thanks,
