Subject: [PATCH] PKT_SCHED: Fix double locking in tcindex destroy path
Date: Fri, 10 Dec 2004 02:49:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041210014918.GT1371@postel.suug.ch> (raw)
tcindex's destroy uses its own delete functions to destroy its
configuration. The delete function (correctly) takes the qdisc_tree_lock
to prevent list walkings from happening while removing from the list.
The qdisc_tree_lock is already held if we're comming via the destroy
path and thus a double locking takes place.
Patch not needed for 2.4 since both destroy paths are unlocked but will
be needed if we add them.
