Before iterating over the the LL2 Rx ring, the ring's
spinlock is taken via spin_lock_irqsave().
The actual processing of the packet [including handling
by the protocol driver] is done without said lock,
so qed releases the spinlock and re-claims it afterwards.
Problem is that the final spin_lock_irqrestore() at the end
of the iteration uses the original flags saved from the
initial irqsave() instead of the flags from the most recent
irqsave(). So it's possible that the interrupt status would
be incorrect at the end of the processing.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
