Chengfeng Ye 1774250a20 mISDN: hfcpci: Fix potential deadlock on &hc->lock
[ Upstream commit 56c6be35fcbed54279df0a2c9e60480a61841d6f ]

As &hc->lock is acquired by both timer _hfcpci_softirq() and hardirq
hfcpci_int(), the timer should disable irq before lock acquisition
otherwise deadlock could happen if the timmer is preemtped by the hadr irq.

Possible deadlock scenario:
hfcpci_softirq() (timer)
    -> _hfcpci_softirq()
    -> spin_lock(&hc->lock);
        <irq interruption>
        -> hfcpci_int()
        -> spin_lock(&hc->lock); (deadlock here)

This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am developing
for irq-related deadlock.

The tentative patch fixes the potential deadlock by spin_lock_irq()
in timer.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
