[IPV4]: severe locking bug in fib_semantics.c
Found in 2.4 by Yixin Pan <yxpan@hotmail.com>. > When I read fib_semantics.c of Linux-2.4.32, write_lock(&fib_info_lock) = > is used in fib_release_info() instead of write_lock_bh(&fib_info_lock). = > Is the following case possible: a BH interrupts fib_release_info() while = > holding the write lock, and calls ip_check_fib_default() which calls = > read_lock(&fib_info_lock), and spin forever.
