Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] kni: use netif_rx instead of netif_receive_skb in which ocurr deallock on userpace contex
Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2014 23:37:24 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1405093044-3264-1-git-send-email-blue119@gmail.com> (raw)

Per netif_receive_skb function description, it may only be called from
interrupt contex, but KNI is run on kthread that like as user-space
contex. It may occur deallock, if netif_receive_skb called from kthread,
so it should be repleaced by netif_rx or adding local_bh_disable/enable
around netif_receive_skb.
