I'm using a kernel with your patch applied for some days now, and the machine doesn't hang anymore.
Thanks a lot for testing!
I also double checked the path from the call trace, and couldn't find where interrupts are being enabled.
If my patch fixes the problem, then the call trace is bogus and the problem is elsewhere (the lock being used to synchronize between IRQ and non-IRQ contexts, without turning IRQs off, which could easily deadlock).
As your patch reverts the changes made by commit e9df41c5c58, don't you think it's worth raising the issue on LKML, or privately with the author, before adding the patch to the OpenSUSE kernel?
Well it doesn't revert the changes, it just fixes the locking that e9df41c5c58 introduced. I will proceed with the issue upstream.
