Subject: [ATM]: fix possible recursive locking in skb_migrate()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1252ecf63f77ea147bd40f5462c7d9e3d3ae2815;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

[ATM]: fix possible recursive locking in skb_migrate()

ok this is a real potential deadlock in a way, it takes two locks of 2
skbuffs without doing any kind of lock ordering; I think the following
patch should fix it. Just sort the lock taking order by address of the
skb.. it's not pretty but it's the best this can do in a minimally
invasive way.
