The patch titled
x25: fix for spinlock recurse and spinlock lockup with timer handler in x25
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
x25-fix-for-spinlock-recurse-and-spinlock-lockup-with.patch
This patch was probably dropped from -mm because
it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or
into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into
its parent patch in the -mm tree.
From: Shaun Pereira <spereira@xxxxxxxxxxx>
When the sk_timer function x25_heartbeat_expiry() is called by the kernel
in a running/terminating process, spinlock-recursion and spinlock-lockup
locks up the kernel. This has happened with testing on some distro's and
the patch below fixed it.
