Hi, I see a warning,
/qsdk/qca/src/linux/kernel/softirq.c:159 local_bh_enable_ip+0x5c/0xe0() spin_lock_bh. While dev_ioctl is called from user context, not sure why we have the warning because of the following reasons in softirq.c : 159 1. in_irqs - interrupt handler context (So we need to use spin_lock_irq_save ) 2. disabled_irqs - interrupts are disabled (spin_lock should be good enough ). Can some one give me more thoughts, I can see that its not necessary to call spin_lock_bh from softirq context, what are the other scenarios where this might be a problem or not necessary ? The above warning comes from dev_ioctl (user context), when a new network interface is added. thanks, shafi
