Subject: genirq: Plug race in report_bad_irq()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.39-rc1~503^2~9^2~76
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1082687e8d6292a61759eb83358e7db39fed1bf4;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fkernel-adaptation-pc.git

genirq: Plug race in report_bad_irq()

We cannot walk the action chain unlocked. Even if IRQ_INPROGRESS is
set an action can be removed and we follow a null pointer. It's safe
to take the lock there, because the code which removes the action will
call synchronize_irq() which waits unlocked for IRQ_INPROGRESS going
away.
