Subject: 2.6.18-rc5 with GRE, iptables and Speedtouch ADSL, PPP over ATM

Hi,

FYI: Just enabled kernel lock testers on my old laptop machine
doing "internet services". 2.6.18-rc5, i686. All details available
on request, of course.

There is IP GRE tunnel here running over ADSL connection (USB
Thomson/Alcatel Speedtouch 330, PPP over ATM, in-kernel drivers).
Ethernet is DLink Tulip-based (PC Card 32-bit), probably not
relevant here. Iptables doing mostly ACCEPTs, REJECT and DROPs in
INPUT and FORWARD, there is also MASQUERADE but it probably doesn't
matter. Few ip rules directing some traffic to the GRE tunnel as well.

[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
-------------------------------------------------------
swapper/0 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&dev->queue_lock){-+..}, at: [<c02c8c46>] dev_queue_xmit+0x56/0x290

but task is already holding lock:
 (&dev->_xmit_lock){-+..}, at: [<c02c8e14>] dev_queue_xmit+0x224/0x290

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
