xfs: buffer ->bi_end_io function requires irq-safe lock Reports have surfaced of a lockdep splat complaining about an irq-safe -> irq-unsafe locking order in the xfs_buf_bio_end_io() bio completion handler. This only occurs when I/O errors are present because bp->b_lock is only acquired in this context to protect setting an error on the buffer. The problem is that this lock can be acquired with the (request_queue) q->queue_lock held. See scsi_end_request() or ata_qc_schedule_eh(), for example. Replace the locked test/set of b_io_error with a cmpxchg() call. This eliminates the need for the lock and thus the lock ordering problem goes away.
