Revision 195648bbc5ae0848e82f771ecf4cd7497054c212 authored by David S. Miller on 19 August 2008, 11:00:36 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 19 August 2008, 11:00:36 UTC
If dev_deactivate() is trying to quiesce the queue, it
is theoretically possible for another cpu to livelock
trying to process that queue.  This happens because
dev_deactivate() grabs the queue spinlock as it checks
the queue state, whereas net_tx_action() does a trylock
and reschedules the qdisc if it hits the lock.

This breaks the livelock by adding a check on
__QDISC_STATE_DEACTIVATED to net_tx_action() when
the trylock fails.

Based upon feedback from Herbert Xu and Jarek Poplawski.
