Subject: [patch 2.6.13-rc6] net/802/tr: use interrupt-safe locking
Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2005 16:49:59 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050817204959.GA20186@tuxdriver.com> (raw)

Change operations on rif_lock from spin_{un}lock_bh to
spin_{un}lock_irq{save,restore} equivalents.  Some of the
rif_lock critical sections are called from interrupt context via
tr_type_trans->tr_add_rif_info.  The TR NIC drivers call tr_type_trans
from their packet receive handlers.

It is my understanding that this same patch has been submitted multiple
times in the past.  Some of those submissions were around a year ago,
but it does not seem to have been committed.

FWIW, this patch is currently being carried in the Fedora and RHEL
kernels.  It certainly looks like it is necessary to me.  Can we get
some movement on this?
