[PATCH] net: core: dev.c: use spin_lock_irqsave() rather than

From: Michal Nazarewicz
Date: Mon Sep 20 2010 - 11:07:33 EST


This commit fixes a warning that was issued when g_ether gadget
was connected to Windows host. In g_ether, the dev_txq_stats_fold()
can be called from context other then soft-irq so _bh version of
spin_lock is not adequate.

Changing from spin_lock_bh() to spin_lock_irqsave() is always safe (as
irqsave is superset of all other spin lock operations) is always safe
so this commit should not break anything.

As Eric Dumazet said, dev_txq_stats_fold() is a slow patch so there
is no need to optimise that much.

Hello David,

could you pull this patch. I think it's best to get it in 2.6.36.


Without this patch, I got the following warning when RNDIS
configuration is chosen:

After some investigation I found out that commit

Changing spin_lock_bh() to spin_lock_irqsave().
