Subject: [PATCH] bridge deadlock on device removal
Date: Mon, 6 Sep 2004 05:15:23 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040906051523.16e6a431@linux.site> (raw)

Fixes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=131569
Dead lock in bridge when removing device interface module. br_del_if
assumes br->lock not held.

This fixes case of:
	brctl addbr b0
	brctl addif b0 eth0
	rmmod eth0
