[PATCH 4/6] drivers/staging: convert nested spin_lock_irqsave tospin_lock

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Sat Jul 18 2009 - 11:25:44 EST


From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

If spin_lock_irqsave is called twice in a row with the same second
argument, the interrupt state at the point of the second call overwrites
the value saved by the first call. Indeed, the second call does not need
to save the interrupt state, so it is changed to a simple spin_lock.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression lock1,lock2;
expression flags;
@@

*spin_lock_irqsave(lock1,flags)
... when != flags
*spin_lock_irqsave(lock2,flags)
// </smpl>
