Re: [RT PATCH v2] net/xfrm/xfrm_ipcomp: Protect scratch buffer with local_lock

[Joerg Vehlow]

I just happen to be analyzing an error in the kernel if ipcomp is used with rt 
patches. The reason was the meissing lock around the scratch buffer for the 
compress call. Now that I have applied Juris fix, I get another error:

Did I find some other bug here? Can you maybe point me in a direction,
because I am quite lost now where to look.


Apart from that:
Also is the bh_disable/bh_enable in ipcomp_compress even required, if
a lock is used?
