From 1eeb7e42888b3bde403596eebdbd64452a53f4d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ralf Baechle Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2006 11:24:46 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [BPQ] lockdep: fix false positive Bpqether is encapsulating AX.25 frames into ethernet frames. There is a virtual bpqether device paired with each ethernet devices, so it's normal to pass through dev_queue_xmit twice for each frame which triggers the locking detector.
