Subject: SMP freeze w/ 2.4.x and unregister_netdev[ice]() [was ppp lockup...]
Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2001 18:36:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3B38BA08.E2E0629@internetwork-ag.de> (raw)
Hi,
I've done some testing w/ our SMP machine and the PPPDs - the FREEZE (lock)
occurs due to the locking via rtnl_lock()/rtnl_unlock() for unregister_netdevice
in ppp_destoy_interface.
The problem occurs on 2.4.0.SuSE and all vanilla 2.4.x kernels (just tested
2.4.5) in SMP mode only!!!
(And yes, not locking the lists works BUT ... :-)
All help is very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Immanuel
P.S. Please put me on CC: if you reply - makes my list sorting easier... :-)
