From b7c8921bf1a8a9c1907b1eeb029d3f167be226f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2005 15:26:34 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PKTGEN]: Sleeping function called under lock pktgen is calling kmalloc GFP_KERNEL and vmalloc with lock held. The simplest fix is to turn the lock into a semaphore, since the thread lock is only used for admin control from user context.
