From b1586f099ba897542ece36e8a23c1a62907261ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2014 12:21:02 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] netpoll: Use skb_irq_freeable to make zap_completion_queue safe. Replace the test in zap_completion_queue to test when it is safe to free skbs in hard irq context with skb_irq_freeable ensuring we only free skbs when it is safe, and removing the possibility of subtle problems.
