mm: __set_page_dirty uses spin_lock_irqsave instead of spin_lock_irq
commit 227d53b397a32a7614667b3ecaf1d89902fb6c12 upstream. To use spin_{un}lock_irq is dangerous if caller disabled interrupt. During aio buffer migration, we have a possibility to see the following call stack. aio_migratepage [disable interrupt] migrate_page_copy clear_page_dirty_for_io set_page_dirty __set_page_dirty_buffers __set_page_dirty spin_lock_irq This mean, current aio migration is a deadlockable. spin_lock_irqsave is a safer alternative and we should use it.
