[PATCH char-misc-next] UIO: Fix concurrency issue

From: Vitalii Demianets
Date: Thu Jun 20 2013 - 12:18:30 EST


In a SMP case there was a race condition issue between
uio_pdrv_genirq_irqcontrol() running on one CPU and irq handler on another
CPU. Fix it by spin_locking shared resources access inside irq handler.
Also:
- Change disable_irq to disable_irq_nosync to avoid deadlock, because
disable_irq waits for the completion of the irq handler;
- Change atomic bit-manipulation routines to their non-atomic counterparts
as we already are guarding the code by spinlock.
