Subject: [PATCH] netpoll: use non-BH variant of RCU
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2010 16:25:24 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1281471924-2237-1-git-send-email-linville@tuxdriver.com> (raw)

"netpoll: Fix RCU usage" switched netpoll_rx to use the BH variant
of RCU.  Unfortunately, calling netpoll_rx from netif_rx resulted in
the following backtrace:

Switching back to the non-BH variant of RCU resolves the issue.
