From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 20e7c4e80dcd01dad5e6c8b32455228b8fe9c619 ] When a device ndo_start_xmit() calls again dev_queue_xmit(), lockdep can complain because dev_queue_xmit() is re-entered and the spinlocks protecting tx queues share a common lockdep class. Same issue was fixed for bonding/l2tp/ppp in commits 0daa2303028a6 ("[PATCH] bonding: lockdep annotation") 49ee49202b4ac ("bonding: set qdisc_tx_busylock to avoid LOCKDEP splat") 23d3b8bfb8eb2 ("net: qdisc busylock needs lockdep annotations ") 303c07db487be ("ppp: set qdisc_tx_busylock to avoid LOCKDEP splat ") Reported-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
