This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled pkt_sched: fq: do not hold qdisc lock while allocating to the 3.13-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: pkt_sched-fq-do-not-hold-qdisc-lock-while-allocating.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.13 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Apr 10 22:03:04 PDT 2014 From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2014 22:57:52 -0800 Subject: pkt_sched: fq: do not hold qdisc lock while allocating memory From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 2d8d40afd187bced0a3d056366fb58d66fe845e3 ] Resizing fq hash table allocates memory while holding qdisc spinlock, with BH disabled. This is definitely not good, as allocation might sleep. We can drop the lock and get it when needed, we hold RTNL so no other changes can happen at the same time.
