[NET]: Use local_irq_{save,restore}() in napi_complete().
Based upon a lockdep report. Since ->poll() can be invoked from netpoll with interrupts disabled, we must not unconditionally enable interrupts in napi_complete(). Instead we must use local_irq_{save,restore}(). Noticed by Peter Zijlstra: <irqs disabled> netpoll_poll() poll_napi() spin_trylock(&napi->poll_lock) poll_one_napi() napi->poll() := sky2_poll() napi_complete() local_irq_disable() local_irq_enable() <--- *BUG* <irq> irq_exit() do_softirq() net_rx_action() spin_lock(&napi->poll_lock) <--- Deadlock! Because we still hold the lock.... Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
