Bernard Pidoux reported these lockdep warnings: [ INFO: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected ] 2.6.23.1 #1 --------------------------------------------------------- fpac/4933 just changed the state of lock: (slock-AF_AX25){--..}, at: [<d8be3312>] ax25_disconnect+0x46/0xaf [ax25] but this lock was taken by another, soft-irq-safe lock in the past: (ax25_list_lock){-+..} and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them. [...] [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] 2.6.23.1 #1 --------------------------------- inconsistent {in-softirq-W} -> {softirq-on-W} usage. ax25_call/4005 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes: (slock-AF_AX25){-+..}, at: [<d8b79312>] ax25_disconnect+0x46/0xaf [ax25] [...] This means slock-AF_AX25 could be taken both from softirq and process context with softirqs enabled, so it's endangered itself, but also makes ax25_list_lock vulnerable. It was not 100% verified if the real lockup can happen, but this fix isn't very costly and looks safe anyway. (It was tested by Bernard with 2.6.23.9 and 2.6.24-rc5 kernels.)
