From 4bf3631cdb012591667ab927fcd7719d92837833 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Kosina Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2007 14:41:21 -0700 Subject: 8250: fix possible deadlock between serial8250_handle_port() and serial8250_interrupt() Commit 40b36daa introduced possibility that serial8250_backup_timeout() -> serial8250_handle_port() locks port.lock without disabling irqs, thus allowing deadlock against interrupt handler (port.lock is acquired in serial8250_interrupt()).
