3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Veaceslav Falico <vfalico@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ec6f809ff6f19fafba3212f6aff0dda71dfac8e8 ] Currently we're using plain spin_lock() in prb_shutdown_retire_blk_timer(), however the timer might fire right in the middle and thus try to re-aquire the same spinlock, leaving us in a endless loop. To fix that, use the spin_lock_bh() to block it. Fixes: f6fb8f100b80 ("af-packet: TPACKET_V3 flexible buffer implementation.") CC: "David S.
