[PATCH] drivers/block/floppy.c: dont free_irq() from irq context
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
free_irq() should not be executed from softirq context.

Found by the lock validator.  The fix is to push fd_free_irq() into
keventd.  The code validates fine with this patch applied.

(akpm: this is revolting, but so is floppy.c)
