Issue of the Implementation # L0010

Brief

drivers/net/irda/ali-ircc.c: Get spin_lock twice

Detailed Description

ali_ircc_sir_change_speed() is always called with self->lock held, so acquiring the lock inside it leads to unavoidable deadlock. Call graph:

ali_ircc_sir_change_speed() is called from ali_ircc_change_speed()
  ali_ircc_fir_hard_xmit() under spin_lock_irqsave(&self->lock, flags);
  ali_ircc_sir_hard_xmit() under spin_lock_irqsave(&self->lock, flags);
  ali_ircc_net_ioctl() under spin_lock_irqsave(&self->lock, flags);
  ali_ircc_dma_xmit_complete()
    ali_ircc_fir_interrupt()
      ali_ircc_interrupt() under spin_lock(&self->lock);
  ali_ircc_sir_write_wakeup()
    ali_ircc_sir_interrupt()
      ali_ircc_interrupt() under spin_lock(&self->lock);
