Fix dst_lock usage in __ip_vs_update_dest. We need _bh locking because destination is updated in user context. Can cause lockups on frequent destination updates. Problem reported by Simon Kirby. Bug was introduced in 2.6.37 from the "ipvs: changes for local real server" change. Signed-off-by: Julian Anastasov <ja@xxxxxx> --- Dave, please apply to net-2.6. Patch is for 2.6.37+ and applies to 2.6.38-rc6. There is little fuzz when applying to net-next, let me know if I should provide patch for other trees. --- linux-2.6.37/net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_ctl.c 2011-01-06 00:01:23.600069161 +0200 +++ linux/net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_ctl.c 2011-02-19 23:14:44.463250743 +0200 @@ -810,9 +810,9 @@ __ip_vs_update_dest(struct ip_vs_service dest->u_threshold = udest->u_threshold; dest->l_threshold = udest->l_threshold; - spin_lock(&dest->dst_lock); + spin_lock_bh(&dest->dst_lock); ip_vs_dst_reset(dest); - spin_unlock(&dest->dst_lock); + spin_unlock_bh(&dest->dst_lock); if (add) ip_vs_new_estimator(&dest->stats); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe lvs-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
