[PATCH v1] ibmvnic: remove excessive irqsave

From: angkery
Date: Fri Mar 05 2021 - 11:40:50 EST


From: Junlin Yang <yangjunlin@xxxxxxxxxx>

ibmvnic_remove locks multiple spinlocks while disabling interrupts:
spin_lock_irqsave(&adapter->state_lock, flags);
spin_lock_irqsave(&adapter->rwi_lock, flags);

As reported by coccinelle, the second _irqsave() overwrites the value
saved in 'flags' by the first _irqsave(), therefore when the second
_irqrestore() comes,the value in 'flags' is not valid,the value saved
by the first _irqsave() has been lost.
This likely leads to IRQs remaining disabled. So remove the second
_irqsave():
spin_lock_irqsave(&adapter->state_lock, flags);
spin_lock(&adapter->rwi_lock);

ERROR: nested lock+irqsave that reuses flags from line 5404.
