Subject: [PATCH 2/2] firewire: cdev: fix fw_cdev_event_bus_reset.bm_node_id

Fix an obscure ABI feature that is a bit of a hassle to implement.
However, somebody put it into the ABI, so let's fill in a sensible
value there.

- spin_lock + spin_unlock don't influence whether IRQs on the current
CPU are on or off.

- spin_lock_irq + spin_unlock_irq always switch IRQs on the current
CPU off and back on. This is necessary if the lock could also be
taken by an IRQ handler. (Well, card->lock is actually only taken
by process contexts and by tasklets. Seems we could switch to
spin_lock_bh + spin_unlock_bh for card->lock everywhere in the
firewire stack.)

- spin_lock_irqsave + spin_unlock_irqrestore switch IRQs on the
current CPU off and back on only if used while IRQs are enabled;
if used while local IRQs are already disabled they leave them
disabled.

http://lwn.net/images/pdf/LDD3/ch05.pdf#page=14

Therefore some people prefer to use the safer spin_lock_irqsave()/
spin_unlock_irqrestore() everywhere. However, their downsides are the
need to track IRQ state flags, and --- subjectively --- that their
appearance in the code could create an impression to a casual reader
that this code was meant to be able to run in IRQs-on context as well as
in IRQs-off context. fw_card_bm_work() however definitely requires to
be called with IRQs on, notably to be able to wait for IEEE 1394
transactions to complete.

Thanks for the clear explanation, and sorry for your wasted time.

Oh, no problem. It helps that somebody actually looks at these patches
and asks if something looks illogical. I for one am on record to have
posted patches that got things backwards. :-)
