Please include the commit 60bc851 in your stable tree if possible
Hi,
I got a unix socket soft lockup issue in rhel 6.7(kernel 2.6.32+) ppc64. And found that commit 60bc851 could fix this bug by git bisect. Please got the details at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1238062
commit 60bc851ae59bfe99be6ee89d6bc50008c85ec75d
Author: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]> Date: Wed May 1 05:24:03 2013 +0000
af_unix: fix a fatal race with bit fields
What's more I found this patch hadn't been included into kernel stable tree from 2.6.32 to 3.8. If this patch was not included, in powerpc/sparc, kernel will report soft lockup when doing unix socket recv/sendmsg in some cases.

Queued up for 3.2, thanks.
