Subject: [PATCH] Set a separate lockdep class for neighbour table's proxy_queue
Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2007 16:08:25 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <46236739.5000409@sw.ru> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 522 bytes --]

Otherwise the following calltrace will lead to a wrong
lockdep warning:

  neigh_proxy_process()
    `- lock(neigh_table->proxy_queue.lock);
  arp_redo /* via tbl->proxy_redo */
  arp_process
  neigh_event_ns
  neigh_update
  skb_queue_purge
    `- lock(neighbor->arp_queue.lock);

This is not a deadlock actually, as neighbor table's proxy_queue
and the neighbor's arp_queue are different queues.

Lockdep thinks there is a deadlock as both queues are initialized
with skb_queue_head_init() and thus have a common class.
