[PATCH 3.10 16/26] mm: __set_page_dirty uses spin_lock_irqsave instead of spin_lock_irq

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 227d53b397a32a7614667b3ecaf1d89902fb6c12 upstream.

To use spin_{un}lock_irq is dangerous if caller disabled interrupt.
During aio buffer migration, we have a possibility to see the following
call stack.

aio_migratepage  [disable interrupt]
  migrate_page_copy
    clear_page_dirty_for_io
      set_page_dirty
        __set_page_dirty_buffers
          __set_page_dirty
            spin_lock_irq

This mean, current aio migration is a deadlockable.  spin_lock_irqsave
is a safer alternative and we should use it.
