ipv6: some ipv6 statistic counters failed to disable bh
[ Upstream commit 43a43b6040165f7b40b5b489fe61a4cb7f8c4980 ] After commit c15b1ccadb323ea ("ipv6: move DAD and addrconf_verify processing to workqueue") some counters are now updated in process context and thus need to disable bh before doing so, otherwise deadlocks can happen on 32-bit archs. Fabio Estevam noticed this while while mounting a NFS volume on an ARM board. As a compensation for missing this I looked after the other *_STATS_BH and found three other calls which need updating: 1) icmp6_send: ip6_fragment -> icmpv6_send -> icmp6_send (error handling) 2) ip6_push_pending_frames: rawv6_sendmsg -> rawv6_push_pending_frames -> ... (only in case of icmp protocol with raw sockets in error handling) 3) ping6_v6_sendmsg (error handling) Fixes: c15b1ccadb323ea ("ipv6: move DAD and addrconf_verify processing to workqueue") Reported-by: Fabio Estevam <festevam@gmail.com> Tested-by: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@freescale.com> Cc: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
