In commitd2ba5675d8("[SCSI] qla2xxx: Disable local-interrupts while polling for RISC status.") added a local_irq_disable() before invoking the ->intr_handler callback. The function, which was used in this callback, did not disable interrupts while acquiring the spin_lock so a deadlock was possible and this change was one possible solution. The function in question was qla2300_intr_handler() and is using spin_lock_irqsave() since commit43fac4d97a("[SCSI] qla2xxx: Resolve a performance issue in interrupt"). I checked all other ->intr_handler callbacks and all of them use the irqsave variant so it is safe to remove the local_irq_save() block now.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
