Subject: [PATCH] netfront: Lockdep fixes
Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2007 15:58:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <461EB99A.10000@xensource.com> (raw)
netfront contains two locking problems found by lockdep:
1. rx_lock is a normal spinlock, and tx_lock is an irq spinlock. This
means that in normal use, tx_lock may be taken by an interrupt routine
while rx_lock is held. However, netif_disconnect_backend takes them
in the order tx_lock->rx_lock, which could lead to a deadlock. Reverse
them.
2. rx_lock can also be used in softirq context, so it should be taken/released
with spin_(un)lock_bh.
