Subject: [PATCH] net: fix possible deadlock in sum_frag_mem_limit
Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2013 09:43:35 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1361555015.3683.14.camel@edumazet-glaptop> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130222171343.GB27619@redhat.com>
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
Dave Jones reported a lockdep splat occurring in IP defrag code.
commit 6d7b857d541ecd1d (net: use lib/percpu_counter API for
fragmentation mem accounting) added a possible deadlock.
Because percpu_counter_sum_positive() needs to acquire
a lock that can be used from softirq, we need to disable BH
in sum_frag_mem_limit()
