Subject: Re: [GIT] Networking

David,
 I completely screwed up locking in my VM guard page patch, so when I
verified my fix for that I tried to enable all the lock debug crud I
possibly could.

And as a result, I got a locking error report, but it had nothing to
do with the VM guard page any more (so hopefully I finally fixed my
mindless code-drivel correctly. I'm a bit ashamed of myself).

Anyway, the lock warning I do get seems to be networking-related, and
is appended. Does this ring any bells? It could easily be something
old: I turn on lock debugging only when I look for bugs (or when
people point out bugs that I've created :^/ )

The only thing that seems to be related that google can find is pretty
recent too: a report from Valdis Kletnieks about this apparently
happening on e1000e too (Subject "mmotm 2010-08-11 - lockdep whinges
at e1000e driver ifconfig up"). So it does seem to be pretty recent.

Hmm? Everything obviously still works, but judging by the lockdep
report this might be a deadlock situation (lock taken in softirq _and_
outside softirq without disabling bhs)
