From 4d8863a29c4755a0461cd31b6865026187d6c43a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2008 21:03:15 -0700 Subject: pkt_sched: Don't hold qdisc lock over qdisc_destroy(). Based upon reports by Denys Fedoryshchenko, and feedback and help from Jarek Poplawski and Herbert Xu. We always either: 1) Never made an external reference to this qdisc. or 2) Did a dev_deactivate() which purged all asynchronous references. So do not lock the qdisc when we call qdisc_destroy(), it's illegal anyways as when we drop the lock this is free'd memory. Signed-off-by: David S.
