Hello everybody,

        I require to call a function (ip_forward) that is a part of 
        the net bottom half from the callback handler of 
        a netlink device. But, if my understanding is right, 
        this might lead to reentrancy of the bottom half due to, say, 
        a network interrupt, 
        which should not happen. To avoid this is it enough if I 
        enclose the call with primitives start_bh_atomic()/end_bh_atomic() which
        increment/decrement the intr_count variable?

                                Thanks a lot
                                gopi
