In drivers/isdn/hisax/isac.c, the function isac_interrupt() and
ISAC_l1hw() may be concurrently executed.

ISAC_l1hw()
    line 499: if (!cs->tx_skb)

isac_interrupt()
    line 250: dev_kfree_skb_irq(cs->tx_skb);

Thus, a possible concurrency use-after-free bug may occur in ISAC_l1hw().

To fix these bugs, the calls to spin_lock_irqsave() and
spin_unlock_irqrestore() are added in HFCPCI_l1hw(), to protect the
access to cs->tx_skb.

See commit 7418e6520f22 ("isdn: hisax: hfc_pci: Fix a possible concurrency
use-after-free bug in HFCPCI_l1hw()") for details.

Nothing in this code accesses the cs->tx_skb object.  It is just a logic test
upon whether it is NULL or not.

I'm not applying stuff like this, sorry.

You have to show how something can actually go wrong when fixing a bug.
