From aac4dddc358acfd9d98b20024a42c34dfab31c39 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 1 Jun 2010 00:26:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: get rid of ipip6_prl_lock As noticed by Julia Lawall, ipip6_tunnel_add_prl() incorrectly calls kzallloc(..., GFP_KERNEL) while a spinlock is held. She provided a patch to use GFP_ATOMIC instead. One possibility would be to convert this spinlock to a mutex, or preallocate the thing before taking the lock. After RCU conversion, it appears we dont need this lock, since caller already holds RTNL Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- Reading git-format-patch failed
