[ Upstream commit 9e8bc2dda5 ]
As timbgpio_irq_enable()/timbgpio_irq_disable() callback could be
executed under irq context, it could introduce double locks on
&tgpio->lock if it preempts other execution units requiring
the same locks.
timbgpio_gpio_set()
--> timbgpio_update_bit()
--> spin_lock(&tgpio->lock)
<interrupt>
--> timbgpio_irq_disable()
--> spin_lock_irqsave(&tgpio->lock)
This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am
developing for irq-related deadlock.
To prevent the potential deadlock, the patch uses spin_lock_irqsave()
on &tgpio->lock inside timbgpio_gpio_set() to prevent the possible
deadlock scenario.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
