It is not allowed to call consume_skb() from hardware interrupt context
or with interrupts being disabled. So replace dev_kfree_skb() with
dev_consume_skb_irq() under spin_lock_irqsave().

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")

v1 -> v2:
  Add a fix tag.

Same question, why did you chose dev_consume_skb_irq and not dev_kfree_skb_irq?

Thanks

I chose dev_consume_skb_irq(), because dev_kfree_skb() is consume_skb().

Thanks,

kfree_skb() should be used on error paths, when packet is dropped.
consume_skb() on normal paths, when packet left the system successfully.

dev_kfree* helpers probably default to consume_skb() to avoid spamming
drop monitor, but switching to dev_consume explicitly is not right.
