From 4cfb04854d053e4d6391d7f84495f48082342362 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2013 07:43:35 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: fix possible deadlock in sum_frag_mem_limit Dave Jones reported a lockdep splat occurring in IP defrag code. commit 6d7b857d541ecd1d (net: use lib/percpu_counter API for fragmentation mem accounting) added a possible deadlock. Because percpu_counter_sum_positive() needs to acquire a lock that can be used from softirq, we need to disable BH in sum_frag_mem_limit() Reported-by: Dave Jones Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Jesper Dangaard Brouer Signed-off-by: David S.
