    IB/ipoib: replace local_irq_disable() with proper locking · 112f5c81
    Sebastian Andrzej Siewior authored
    In ipoib_mcast_restart_task() the netif_addr_lock() is invoked prior
    local_irq_save(). netif_addr_lock() should not be invoked in interrupt disabled
    section, only in BH disabled sections.
    The priv->lock is always acquired with disabled interrupts. The only place
    where netif_addr_lock() and priv->lock nest ist ipoib_mcast_restart_task().
    
    Drop the local_irq_save() and acquire priv->lock with spin_lock_irq() inside
    the netif_addr locked section. It's safe to do so because the caller is either
    a worker function or __ipoib_ib_dev_flush() which are both calling with
    interrupts enabled (and since BH is enabled here, too so
    netif_addr_lock_bh() needs to be used).
