Subject: rcu: inet_timewait_sock.h:227 invoked rcu_dereference_check()
 without protection

Hi Paul,

we got the following RCU trace here while doing some tests with 2.6.34
vanilla with some extra patches on top, but which do not touch RCU nor
inet code.
Would be nice if you could have a look at it.
