    rt2x00: Upgrade queue->lock to use irqsave · 5f46c4d0
    Ivo van Doorn authored
    The queue->lock could be grabbed from interrupt context,
    which could lead to lockdep panic like this:
    
    kernel: ======================================================
    kernel: [ INFO: soft-safe -> soft-unsafe lock order detected ]
    kernel: 2.6.25-0.95.rc4.fc9 #1
    kernel: ------------------------------------------------------
    kernel: rt2500pci/1251 [HC0[0]:SC0[1]:HE1:SE0] is trying to acquire:
    kernel:  (&queue->lock){--..}, at: [<ffffffff88213339>] rt2x00queue_get_entry+0x5a/0x81 [rt2x00lib]
    kernel:
    kernel: and this task is already holding:
    kernel:  (_xmit_IEEE80211){-...}, at: [<ffffffff8122e9a3>] __qdisc_run+0x84/0x1a9
    kernel: which would create a new lock dependency:
    kernel:  (_xmit_IEEE80211){-...} -> (&queue->lock){--..}
    kernel:
    kernel: but this new dependency connects a soft-irq-safe lock:
    kernel:  (_xmit_ETHER){-+..}
    kernel: ... which became soft-irq-safe at:
    kernel:   [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff
    kernel:
    kernel: to a soft-irq-unsafe lock:
    kernel:  (&queue->lock){--..}
    kernel: ... which became soft-irq-unsafe at:
    kernel: ...  [<ffffffff810545a2>] __lock_acquire+0x62d/0xd63

    kernel:   [<ffffffff881b9a4b>] ieee80211_open+0x1f3/0x46d [mac80211]
    kernel:   [<ffffffff8121d980>] dev_open+0x4d/0x8b

    kernel:   [<ffffffff8122611a>] rtnetlink_rcv+0x29/0x33

    kernel:   [<ffffffff812105a8>] sys_sendmsg+0x1d2/0x23c
    kernel:   [<ffffffff8100c1c7>] tracesys+0xdc/0xe1
    kernel:   [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff
    
    This can be fixed by using the irqsave/irqrestore versions
    during the queue->lock handling.
