[PATCH] uml: fix proc-vs-interrupt context spinlock deadlock
This spinlock can be taken on interrupt too, so spin_lock_irq[save] must be used. However, Documentation/networking/netdevices.txt explains we are called with rtnl_lock() held - so we don't need to care about other concurrent opens. Verified also in LDD3 and by direct checking. Also verified that the network layer (through a state machine) guarantees us that nobody will close the interface while it's being used. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Also, we must check we don't sleep with irqs disabled!!! But anyway, this is not news - we already can't sleep while holding a spinlock. Who says this is guaranted really by the present code?
