Bug#506799: linux-image-2.6-amd64: deadlock when removing qdisc on multiprocessor systems

[Jindřich Vrba <henly@email.cz>]

Package: linux-image-2.6-amd64
Version: 2.6.18+6etch3
Severity: important

When I delete whole qdisc with iproute command
# tc qdisc del dev eth0 root
the system locks up.

It locks only on multiprocessor systems. Everything goes fine on systems
with one processor.

More about the bug could be found here:
https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/bugme-new/2007-June/016430.html

I tried Debian testing on the same computer and there it was going fine.

Thanks for help
