[PATCH] fix ide-scsi EH locking

From: Jeff Garzik
Date: Fri May 27 2005 - 16:26:04 EST



SCSI's error handling hooks are called inside

spin_lock_irqsave(host_lock, flags)
...
spin_unlock_irqrestore(host_lock, flags)

ide-scsi's SCSI EH functions, which operate inside the above lock, wrap several operations inside

spin_lock_irq(ide_lock)
...
spin_unlock_irq(ide_lock)

Use of the unconditional spin_lock_irq(), as opposed to spin_lock_irqsave(), corrupts the irq context.

Attached patch (against latest git) updates ide-scsi to simply use the spin_lock() variant, since we know we are already inside of spin_lock_irqsave().

Patch untested, but at least the code isn't obviously wrong now...
