+Subject: [PATCH] dump_stack: avoid potential deadlocks
+
+Some servers experienced fatal deadlocks because of a combination
+of bugs, leading to multiple cpus calling dump_stack().
+
+The checksumming bug was fixed in commit 34ae6a1aa054
+("ipv6: update skb->csum when CE mark is propagated").
+
+The second problem is a faulty locking in dump_stack()
+
+CPU1 runs in process context and calls dump_stack(), grabs dump_lock.
+
+   CPU2 receives a TCP packet under softirq, grabs socket spinlock, and
+   call dump_stack() from netdev_rx_csum_fault().
+
+   dump_stack() spins on atomic_cmpxchg(&dump_lock, -1, 2), since
+   dump_lock is owned by CPU1
+
+While dumping its stack, CPU1 is interrupted by a softirq, and happens
+to process a packet for the TCP socket locked by CPU2.
+
+CPU1 spins forever in spin_lock() : deadlock
+
+Stack trace on CPU1 looked like :
