From: Iago Abal <m...@iagoabal.eu>
The EBA code analyzer (https://github.com/models-team/eba) reported
the following double lock:
1. In function `megaraid_reset_handler' at 2571;
2. take `&adapter->pend_list_lock' for the first time at 2602:
// FIRST
spin_lock_irqsave(PENDING_LIST_LOCK(adapter), flags);
3. enter the `list_for_each_entry_safe' loop at 2603;
4. call `megaraid_mbox_mm_done' at 2616;
5. call `megaraid_mbox_runpendq' at 3782;
6. take `&adapter->pend_list_lock' for the second time at 1892:
// SECOND: DOUBLE LOCK !!!
spin_lock_irqsave(PENDING_LIST_LOCK(adapter), flags);
>From my shallow understanding of the code (so please review carefully), I think
that it is not necessary to hold `PENDING_LIST_LOCK(adapter)' while executing
the body of the `list_for_each_entry_safe' loop. I assume this because both
`megaraid_mbox_mm_done' and `megaraid_dealloc_scb' are called from several
places where, as far as I can tell, this lock is not hold. In fact, as reported
by EBA, at some point `megaraid_mbox_mm_done' will acquire this lock again.
