From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2013 18:42:03 +0000 (-0800) Subject: ppp: set qdisc_tx_busylock to avoid LOCKDEP splat X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=303c07db487be;p=linux-beck.git ppp: set qdisc_tx_busylock to avoid LOCKDEP splat If a qdisc is installed on a ppp device, its possible to get a lockdep splat under stress, because nested dev_queue_xmit() can lock busylock a second time (on a different device, so its a false positive) Avoid this problem using a distinct lock_class_key for ppp devices.
