From 6d6936e2ea82ebcbdd12d489b7b5ccf430de52f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Tue, 6 May 2008 18:51:31 +0400 Subject: [PATCH] Fix potential scheduling while atomic in mesh_path_add. Calling synchronize_rcu() under write-lock-ed pathtbl_resize_lock may result in this warning (and other side effects). It looks safe just dropping this lock before calling synchronize_rcu.
