Subject: [NETPOLL]: Fix local_bh_enable() warning.
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a49f99ffca57a2eada23b1ac908a405c17859e35;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

[NETPOLL]: Fix local_bh_enable() warning.

During boot we get:

netconsole: device eth0 not up yet, forcing it
e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog: NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex
WARNING (!__warned) at kernel/softirq.c:137 local_bh_enable()

Herbert sayeth:

  Normally networking isn't invoked with interrupts turned off, but I
  suppose we don't have a choice here.  This is unique being a place where you
  can get called with BH on, off, or IRQs off.

  Given that this is only used for printk, the easiest solution is probably
  just to disable local IRQs instead of BH.
