[PATCH] Sun ldom vnet driver dead lock

From: Yongli He
Date: Wed Sep 23 2009 - 22:00:04 EST


if 2 vnet attach to same vswitch, ldom will report
2 same irq then lead to dead lock on the lp->lock
or the vio->lock

static irqreturn_t ldc_rx(int irq, void *dev_id){
...
out:
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&lp->lock, flags);
<< here run with out any lock
send_events(lp, event_mask);
>> vnet evetn process will dead lock on
>> lp->lock or the vio->lock
