[PATCH] Convert idr's internal locking to _irqsave variant
Currently, the code in lib/idr.c uses a bare spin_lock(&idp->lock) to do internal locking. This is a nasty trap for code that might call idr functions from different contexts; for example, it seems perfectly reasonable to call idr_get_new() from process context and idr_remove() from interrupt context -- but with the current locking this would lead to a potential deadlock. The simplest fix for this is to just convert the idr locking to use spin_lock_irqsave(). In particular, this fixes a very complicated locking issue detected by lockdep, involving the ib_ipoib driver's priv->lock and dev->_xmit_lock, which get involved with the ib_sa module's query_idr.lock.
