[ Upstream commit d5dba32b8f6cb39be708b726044ba30dbc088b30 ]
As &card->cli_queue_lock is acquired under softirq context along the following call chain from solos_bh(), other acquisition of the same lock inside process context should disable at least bh to avoid double lock.
<deadlock #1> console_show() --> spin_lock(&card->cli_queue_lock) <interrupt> --> solos_bh() --> spin_lock(&card->cli_queue_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_bh() on the card->cli_queue_lock under process context code consistently to prevent the possible deadlock scenario.
