            Bug ID: 68011
           Summary: spin_unlock is missed in function
                    (netpoll_send_skb_on_dev) in file
                    (linux-3.12/net/core/netpoll.c)
           Product: Networking
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 3.12
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Other
          Assignee: shemminger@linux-foundation.org
          Reporter: atamrawi@iastate.edu
        Regression: No

In function (netpoll_send_skb_on_dev) in file (linux-3.12/net/core/netpoll.c):

The structure (txq->_xmit_lock) gets successfully locked at line (383) by
(__netif_tx_trylock(txq)) and unlocked by (__netif_tx_unlock(txq)) at line
(398).

The problem occurs when the loop breaks at line (390) and the structure
(txq->_xmit_lock) still locked. In that case, the structure (txq->_xmit_lock)
never gets unlocked.

A possible solution is to call (__netif_tx_unlock(txq)) before the break at
line (390)
