From bc0fde2fad007a81ecffceb25a893a6c3f1ed767 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Wegener Date: Sun, 10 Aug 2008 09:14:05 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ipvs: Fix possible deadlock in sync code Commit 998e7a76804b7a273a0460c2cdd5a51fa9856717 ("ipvs: Use kthread_run() instead of doing a double-fork via kernel_thread()") introduced a possible deadlock in the sync code. We need to use the _bh versions for the lock, as the lock is also accessed from a bottom half.
