From a636e1357911afdea7c8344ee65f78d36caf3c16 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Moyer Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2005 19:23:50 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [NETPOLL]: deadlock bugfix This fixes an obvious deadlock in the netpoll code. netpoll_rx takes the npinfo->rx_lock. netpoll_rx is also the only caller of arp_reply (through __netpoll_rx). As such, it is not necessary to take this lock. Signed-off-by: Jeff Moyer Signed-off-by: Matt Mackall Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- Reading git-format-patch failed
