xen-blkfront: fix a deadlock while handling discard response
When we get -EOPNOTSUPP response for a discard request, we will clear the discard flag on the request queue so we won't attempt to send discard requests to backend again, and this should be protected under rq->queue_lock. However, when we setup the request queue, we pass blkif_io_lock to blk_init_queue so rq->queue_lock is blkif_io_lock indeed, and this lock is already taken when we are in blkif_interrpt, so remove the spin_lock/spin_unlock when we clear the discard flag or we will end up with deadlock here Signed-off-by: Li Dongyang <lidongyang@novell.com> [v1: Updated description a bit and removed comment from source] Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
