From e761bada6f1eb056e720afd5704a21a79fb8df35 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hannes Frederic Sowa Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2013 06:39:44 +0100 Subject: ipv6: fix possible seqlock deadlock in ip6_finish_output2 [ Upstream commit 7f88c6b23afbd31545c676dea77ba9593a1a14bf ] IPv6 stats are 64 bits and thus are protected with a seqlock. By not disabling bottom-half we could deadlock here if we don't disable bh and a softirq reentrantly updates the same mib.
