[PATCH] dca: redesign locks

From: Maciej Sosnowski
Date: Mon Feb 02 2009 - 12:23:43 EST


Change spin_locks to irqsave to prevent dead-locks.
Protect adding and deleting to/from dca_providers list.
Drop the lock during dca_sysfs_add_req() and dca_sysfs_remove_req() calls
as they might sleep (use GFP_KERNEL allocation).
