From 1d311ad2f9fe5d75cf228372174170d0f435e3ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sowmini Varadhan Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2014 10:29:41 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] sunvnet: Schedule maybe_tx_wakeup() as a tasklet from ldc_rx path At the tail of vnet_event(), if we hit the maybe_tx_wakeup() condition, we try to take the netif_tx_lock() in the recv-interrupt-context and can deadlock with dev_watchdog(). vnet_event() should schedule maybe_tx_wakeup() as a tasklet to avoid this deadlock Signed-off-by: Sowmini Varadhan Signed-off-by: David S.
