The change 050f009e [IPSEC]: Lock state when copying non-atomic fields to user-space caused a regression. Ingo Molnar reports that it causes a potential dead-lock found by the lock validator as it tries to take x->lock within xfrm_state_lock while numerous other sites take the locks in opposite order. For 2.6.24, the best fix is to simply remove the added locks as that puts us back in the same state as we've been in for years. For later kernels a proper fix would be to reverse the locking order for every xfrm state user such that if x->lock is taken together with xfrm_state_lock then it is to be taken within it.
