Hi Linus,
Please find enclosed a patch against 2.4.0-prerelease that :
- Fixes a lockup in handle_IRQ_event when using IrDA on an SMP
machine. It changes spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irq pairs to
spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore, which seems to be the
logical thing to do.
- Removes 2 unused functions that are broken on SPARC (hashbin_unlock
does a restore_flags when save_flags is done in hashbin_lock, which
messes register windows).
With this patch, IrDA is rock solid on my x86 SMP box (at least with
my usage patern...). It was crashing immediatly before (NMI watchdog).
A previous version of this patch has been reviewed by Andrew Morton,
who said it looked ok.
Thanks for applying it to your tree.
M.
