Subject[PATCH 4/8] net: af_netlink: deadlock
Subject: net: af_netlink: deadlock

From: Gautham R Shenoy <ego@in.ibm.com>

=========================================================
[ INFO: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected ]
2.6.25-rc3 #61
---------------------------------------------------------
swapper/0 just changed the state of lock:
(&tb->tb6_lock){-+..}, at: [<c049a5ab>] __ip6_ins_rt+0x1e/0x3c
but this lock took another, soft-read-irq-unsafe lock in the past:
(nl_table_lock){..-?}

and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.

Full lockdep report at
http://gautham.shenoy.googlepages.com/nl_table_lock_irq_inversion.log

This patch fixes the problem by making the read acquire of nl_table_lock
softirq safe.
