[IUCV]: wrong irq-disabling locking at module load time
Linux may hang when running af_iucv socket programs concurrently with a load of module netiucv. iucv_register() tries to take the iucv_table_lock with spin_lock_irq. This conflicts with iucv_connect() which has a need for an smp_call_function while holding the iucv_table_lock. Solution: use bh-disabling locking in iucv_register() Signed-off-by: Ursula Braun <braunu@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
