Sorry for taking so long about this.
The problem is that tcp_md5sig_pool_lock is taken in both
software-interrupt and non-software-interrupt contexts, but
it is always acquired/released using spin_lock/spin_unlock.
The most conservative fix, which I'll use for 2.6.21 and
2.6.x-stable, is the following.
I invite anyone to rewrite this md5 signature pool mutual
exclusion code, it's not exactly the best :-)
Thanks for reporting this problem.
