[patch, -rc5-mm1] locking validator: special rule: 8390.c disable_irq()

From: Ingo Molnar
Date: Wed May 31 2006 - 16:01:20 EST


untested on 8390 hardware, but ought to solve the lockdep false
positive.

Subject: locking validator: special rule: 8390.c disable_irq()
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>

8390.c knows that ei_local->page_lock can only be used by an irq
context that it disabled - and can hence take the ->page_lock
without disabling hardirqs. Teach lockdep about this.
