Subject[PATCH 1/1]x25: fix for spinlock recurse and spinlock lockup with timer handler in x25
From
Date
From: spereira@tusc.com.au

When the sk_timer function x25_heartbeat_expiry() is called by the kernel
in a running/terminating process, spinlock-recursion and spinlock-lockup
locks up the kernel.
This has happened with testing on some distro's and the patch below fixed it.
