Subject: [PATCH] b44.c Use dev_kfree_skb_irq() in b44_tx()
Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2011 14:56:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1322056588-26171-1-git-send-email-LKML@hover.be> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Re: softirq oops from b44_poll>
Reported issues when using dev_kfree_skb() on UP systems and
systems with low numbers of cores. dev_kfree_skb_irq() will
properly save IRQ state before freeing the skb.
Tested on 3.1.1 and 3.2_rc2
Example of reproducible trace of kernel 3.1.1
