Subject: [PATCH 3/3] [PATCH] fix sleepable allocation with spin lock bh
Date: Thu, 07 Aug 2008 12:08:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080807100846.8036.73172.stgit@Decadence> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080807100803.8036.8684.stgit@Decadence>
This patch removes a GFP_KERNEL allocation while holding a spin lock with
bottom halves disabled in ctnetlink_change_helper().
This problem was introduced in 2.6.23 with the netfilter extension
infrastructure.
