Thanks for the report Ingo! This is indeed a regression caused by: commit 050f009e16f908932070313c1745d09dc69fd62b Author: Herbert Xu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue Oct 9 13:31:47 2007 -0700 [IPSEC]: Lock state when copying non-atomic fields to user-space For 2.6.24 I'm simply going to revert this change since that just puts us back to the same state we've been for the last few years. For 2.6.25 I'll do a proper fix by making sure that every xfrm state user obeys the rule that if x->lock is to be taken with xfrm_state_lock then it must be done from within.
