From 435bc9dfc6927eed9465e297d7aca1217aa61956 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ursula Braun Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2008 18:06:52 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [IUCV]: wrong irq-disabling locking at module load time Linux may hang when running af_iucv socket programs concurrently with a load of module netiucv. iucv_register() tries to take the iucv_table_lock with spin_lock_irq. This conflicts with iucv_connect() which has a need for an smp_call_function while holding the iucv_table_lock. Solution: use bh-disabling locking in iucv_register() Signed-off-by: Ursula Braun Signed-off-by: David S.
