Subject: [IPV6]: The ifa lock is a BH lock
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=06aebfb7faa13258af5230ff3d1587ece6c0250e;p=linux-beck.git

[IPV6]: The ifa lock is a BH lock

The ifa lock is expected to be taken in BH context (by addrconf timers)
so we must disable BH when accessing it from user context.
