[PATCH 3.8 71/81] usb: ehci: fix deadlock when threadirqs option is used

[Kamal Mostafa]

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

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

From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit a1227f3c1030e96ebc51d677d2f636268845c5fb upstream.

ehci_irq() and ehci_hrtimer_func() can deadlock on ehci->lock when
threadirqs option is used. To prevent the deadlock use
spin_lock_irqsave() in ehci_irq().

This change can be reverted when hrtimer callbacks become threaded.
