[PATCH 3.4 20/32] af_packet: block BH in prb_shutdown_retire_blk_timer()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2013-12-06 22:01:34
Also in: lkml

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Veaceslav Falico <redacted>

[ Upstream commit ec6f809ff6f19fafba3212f6aff0dda71dfac8e8 ]

Currently we're using plain spin_lock() in prb_shutdown_retire_blk_timer(),
however the timer might fire right in the middle and thus try to re-aquire
the same spinlock, leaving us in a endless loop.

To fix that, use the spin_lock_bh() to block it.
