 =========================================================
 [ INFO: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected ]
 3.6.0-0.0.0.28.36b5ec9-default #1 Not tainted
 ---------------------------------------------------------
 qla2xxx_1_dpc/368 just changed the state of lock:
  (&(&ha->vport_slock)->rlock){+.....}, at: [<ffffffffa009b377>] 
qla2x00_configure_hba+0x197/0x3c0 [qla2xxx]
 but this lock was taken by another, HARDIRQ-safe lock in the past:
  (&(&ha->hardware_lock)->rlock){-.....}

and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&(&ha->vport_slock)->rlock);
                               local_irq_disable();
                               lock(&(&ha->hardware_lock)->rlock);
                               lock(&(&ha->vport_slock)->rlock);
  <Interrupt>
    lock(&(&ha->hardware_lock)->rlock);
=== [ cut here ] ===

Fix the potential deadlock by disabling IRQs while holding ha->vport_slock.
