USB HCD: avoid duplicate local_irq_disable()

usb_hcd_flush_endpoint() has a retry loop that starts with a spin_lock_irq(), but only gives up the spinlock, not the irq_disable before jumping to the rescan label. Split the spin_lock_irq into the retryable part and the local_irq_disable() that is only done once as a micro-optimization and slight cleanup.

I guess this counts as a false positive, as it is clearly harmless, but working around it is a small optimization for the case where local_irq_disable() is a hypervisor call. Should we try to fix this class of (non-)problem in other places? Will this patch cause a different warning with lockdep since now we are pairing spin_lock() with spin_unlock_irq()? --- a/drivers/usb/core/hcd.c +++ b/drivers/usb/core/hcd.c @@ -1312,8 +1312,9 @@ void usb_hcd_flush_endpoint(struct usb_device *udev, hcd = bus_to_hcd(udev->bus); /* No more submits can occur */ + local_irq_disable(); rescan: - spin_lock_irq(&hcd_urb_list_lock); + spin_lock(&hcd_urb_list_lock); list_for_each_entry (urb, &ep->urb_list, urb_list) { int is_in; ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
