ipmi: fix potential deadlock on &kcs_bmc->lock
As kcs_bmc_handle_event() is executed inside both a timer and a hardirq, it should disable irq before lock acquisition otherwise deadlock could happen if the timmer is preemtped by the irq. Possible deadlock scenario: aspeed_kcs_check_obe() (timer) -> kcs_bmc_handle_event() -> spin_lock(&kcs_bmc->lock) <irq interruption> -> aspeed_kcs_irq() -> kcs_bmc_handle_event() -> spin_lock(&kcs_bmc->lock) (deadlock here) This flaw was found using an experimental static analysis tool we are developing for irq-related deadlock. The tentative patch fix the potential deadlock by spin_lock_irqsave() Signed-off-by: Chengfeng Ye <dg573847474@gmail.com> Message-Id: <20230627152449.36093-1-dg573847474@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <minyard@acm.org>
