Hello David,
The code in br_if.c tries to do a kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL when a write_lock_bh
is held.
[net/bridge/br_if.c:236]
write_lock_bh(&br->lock);
if ((p = new_nbp(br, dev)) == NULL) {
write_unlock_bh(&br->lock);
The fix for this was given by [EMAIL PROTECTED], on the lkml, but wasn't
picked up. Please apply his patch below.
cheers,
Bart
