Jiri Bohac 3e5b12de56 ipx: fix locking regression in ipx_sendmsg and ipx_recvmsg ... [ Upstream commit 01462405f0c093b2f8dfddafcadcda6c9e4c5cdf ] This fixes an old regression introduced by commit b0d0d915 (ipx: remove the BKL). When a recvmsg syscall blocks waiting for new data, no data can be sent on the same socket with sendmsg because ipx_recvmsg() sleeps with the socket locked. This breaks mars-nwe (NetWare emulator): - the ncpserv process reads the request using recvmsg - ncpserv forks and spawns nwconn - ncpserv calls a (blocking) recvmsg and waits for new requests - nwconn deadlocks in sendmsg on the same socket Commit b0d0d915 has simply replaced BKL locking with lock_sock/release_sock. Unlike now, BKL got unlocked while sleeping, so a blocking recvmsg did not block a concurrent sendmsg. Only keep the socket locked while actually working with the socket data and release it prior to calling skb_recv_datagram().
