Subject: [NET]: Fix dev->qdisc race for NETDEV_TX_LOCKED case
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5830725f8a36908111ecccf2899d06d6dcf54d45;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

[NET]: Fix dev->qdisc race for NETDEV_TX_LOCKED case

When transmit fails with NETDEV_TX_LOCKED the skb is requeued
to dev->qdisc again. The dev->qdisc pointer is protected by
the queue lock which needs to be dropped when attempting to
transmit and acquired again before requeing. The problem is
that qdisc_restart() fetches the dev->qdisc pointer once and
stores it in the `q' variable which is invalidated when
dropping the queue_lock, therefore the variable needs to be
refreshed before requeueing.
