[ Upstream commit15319a4e8e] As &card->tx_queue_lock is acquired under softirq context along the following call chain from solos_bh(), other acquisition of the same lock inside process context should disable at least bh to avoid double lock. <deadlock #2> pclose() --> spin_lock(&card->tx_queue_lock) <interrupt> --> solos_bh() --> fpga_tx() --> spin_lock(&card->tx_queue_lock) This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am developing for irq-related deadlock. To prevent the potential deadlock, the patch uses spin_lock_bh() on &card->tx_queue_lock under process context code consistently to prevent the possible deadlock scenario.

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.
