[PATCH] enic: Fix a sleep-in-atomic bug

From: Jia-Ju Bai
Date: Tue May 30 2017 - 22:32:54 EST


The driver may sleep under a spin lock in some function call paths.
The 1st function call path is:
enic_reset (acquire the lock by spin_lock)
enic_stop
enic_synchronize_irqs
synchronize_irq --> may sleep
The 2nd function call path is:
enic_reset (acquire the lock by spin_lock)
enic_dev_soft_reset
enic_dev_wait
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible --> may sleep
The 3rd function call path is:
enic_reset (acquire the lock by spin_lock)
enic_open
enic_request_intr
enic_set_rx_cpu_rmap
enic_free_rx_cpu_rmap
free_irq_cpu_rmap --> may sleep

To fix it, the "spin_lock" and "spin_unlock" are removed in enic_reset.
