Subject: NET: Fix locking issues in PPP, 6pack, mkiss and strip line disciplines.
Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2009 18:27:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090712172720.GA7313@linux-mips.org> (raw)

Guido Trentalancia reports:

I am trying to use the kiss driver in the Linux kernel that is being
shipped with Fedora 10 but unfortunately I get the following oops:

mkiss: AX.25 Multikiss, Hans Albas PE1AYX
mkiss: ax0: crc mode is auto.
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): ax0: link becomes ready

mkiss: ax0: Trying crc-smack
mkiss: ax0: Trying crc-flexnet

The issue was, that the locking code in mkiss was assuming it was only
ever being called in process or bh context but some tty drivers such as
the USB serial driver may call it in interrupt context.  Fixed by
converting the involved locking code to use irq-safe locks.

Review of similar networking line disciplines shows that 6pack, both sync
and async PPP and STRIP have similar issues.  The PPP ones are the most
interesting ones as half of the issue was sorted out as far back as 2004
in commit http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commitdiff;h=2996d8deaeddd01820691a872550dc0cfba0c37d
