However it also needs to call vortex_error() sometimes, and that uses the regular functions for access to windowed registers, which will try to acquire window_lock again. Therefore, drop window_lock around the call to vortex_error() and set the window afterward reacquiring the lock. Since vortex_error() may call vortex_rx(), which *does* require its caller to hold window_lock, lift that call up into vortex_interrupt(). This also removes the potential for calling vortex_rx() on a later-generation NIC. Reported-and-tested-by: Jens Schüßler [in Debian's 2.6.32] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S.
