The following lockdep splat was observed:

In the ioat_shutdown() function:
spin_lock_bh(&ioat_chan->prep_lock); set_bit(IOAT_CHAN_DOWN, &ioat_chan->state); del_timer_sync(&ioat_chan->timer); spin_unlock_bh(&ioat_chan->prep_lock);
According to the synchronization rule for the del_timer_sync() function, the caller must not hold locks which would prevent completion of the timer's handler.
The timer structure has its own lock that manages its synchronization. Setting the IOAT_CHAN_DOWN bit should prevent other CPUs from trying to use that device anyway, there is probably no need to call del_timer_sync() while holding the prep_lock. So the del_timer_sync() call is now moved outside of the prep_lock critical section to prevent the circular lock dependency.
