Subject: [PATCH v5 5/6] fsl-dma: use spin_lock_bh to instead of spin_lock_irqsave

From: Qiang Liu <[email protected]>

- use spin_lock_bh() is the right way to use async_tx api,
dma_run_dependencies() should not be protected by spin_lock_irqsave();
- use spin_lock_bh to instead of spin_lock_irqsave for improving performance,
There is not any place to access descriptor queues in fsl-dma ISR except its
tasklet, spin_lock_bh() is more proper here. Interrupts will be turned off and
context will be save in irqsave, there is needless to use irqsave..

This description is not very clear English. I understand it is not your
native language. Let me try to help.

"""
The use of spin_lock_irqsave() is a stronger locking mechanism than is
required throughout the driver. The minimum locking required should be
used instead.

Change all instances of spin_lock_irqsave() to spin_lock_bh(). All
manipulation of protected fields is done using tasklet context or
weaker, which makes spin_lock_bh() the correct choice.
"""
