Subject: [PATCH] fix NAPI race
Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2003 16:05:09 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030729060509.GB13227@krispykreme> (raw)


Hi,

Milton and I debugged an oops where we did list_del on a poisoned list
entry. It turns out there is nothing to order between list_del on
poll_list and the clear_bit that serialises list_add.

Anton
