ibmvnic_remove locks multiple spinlocks while disabling interrupts:
spin_lock_irqsave(&adapter->state_lock, flags);
spin_lock_irqsave(&adapter->rwi_lock, flags);
As reported by coccinelle, the second _irqsave() overwrites the value
saved in 'flags' by the first _irqsave(), therefore when the second
_irqrestore() comes,the value in 'flags' is not valid,the value saved
by the first _irqsave() has been lost.
This likely leads to IRQs remaining disabled. So remove the second
_irqsave():
spin_lock_irqsave(&adapter->state_lock, flags);
spin_lock(&adapter->rwi_lock);

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
