Subject: [PATCH] SMC91x: Use IRQ save and restore versions of spinlocks
Under certain circumstances (e.g. kgdb over ethernet), the TX code may
be called with interrupts disabled. The spin_unlock_irq() calls in
the driver unconditionally re-enable interrupts, which may trigger the
netdev softirq to run and cause spinlock recursion in the net stack.
For example, here's an example path with interrupts disabled:
kgdb exception
eth_flush_buf
netpoll_send_udp
netpoll_send_skb [ takes netdevice->xmit_lock via netif_tx_trylock() ]
smc_hard_start_xmit
smc_hardware_send_pkt
SMC_ENABLE_INT()
spin_unlock_irq(&lp->lock)
That spin_unlock_irq() will re-enable interrupts, even if they wer
disabled, thus triggering the netdev softirq to run. The
dev_watchdog() will try to take the netdevice->xmit_lock which is
currently locked by netpoll_send_skb() and then BUG!
Also, use spin_trylock_irqsave() instead of a wrapped version of
spin_trylock.
