From: shmulik.hen@intel.com Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2003 17:38:37 +0300 (IDT) This change is based on last week's discussion regarding the fact that holding a lock_irqsave doesn't prevent softirqs from running which can cause deadlocks in certain situations. BTW, current 2.5.x kernels will now spit out debugging messages when this locking rule is violated (ie. local_bh_enable() is called with processor interrupts disabled). - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
