    via-velocity: Fix races on shared interrupts · 3f2e8d9f
    Simon Kagstrom authored
    This patch fixes two potential races in the velocity driver:
    
    * Move the ACK and error handler to the interrupt handler. This fixes a
      potential race with shared interrupts when the other device interrupts
      before the NAPI poll handler has finished. As the velocity driver hasn't
      acked it's own interrupt, it will then steal the interrupt from the
      other device.
    
    * Use spin_lock_irqsave in velocity_poll. In the current code, the
      interrupt handler will deadlock if e.g., the NAPI poll handler is
      executing when an interrupt (for another device) comes in since it
      tries to take the already held lock.
    
      Also unlock the spinlock only after enabling the interrupt in
      velocity_poll.
    
    The error path is moved to the interrupt handler since this is where the
    ISR is checked now.
