From 099473c16bac7b936994bc95b5fd96f36397e1ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan-Bernd Themann Date: Tue, 15 Jun 2010 05:35:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ehea: Fix kernel deadlock in DLPAR-mem processing Port reset operations and memory add/remove operations need to be serialized to avoid a kernel deadlock. The deadlock is caused by calling the napi_disable() function twice. Therefore we have to employ the dlpar_mem_lock in the ehea_reset_port function as well Signed-off-by: Jan-Bernd Themann Signed-off-by: David S.
