[PATCH] uml: fix ubd deadlock on SMP
From: BlaisorBlade <blaisorblade_spam@yahoo.it>, Chris Wright <chrisw@osdl.org> Avoid deadlocking onto the request lock in the UBD driver, i.e. don't lock the queue spinlock when called from the request function. In detail: Rename ubd_finish() to __ubd_finish() and remove ubd_io_lock from it. Add wrapper, ubd_finish(), which grabs lock before calling __ubd_finish(). Update do_ubd_request to use the lock free __ubd_finish() to avoid deadlock. Also, apparently prepare_request is called with ubd_io_lock held, so remove locks there.
