Subject[PATCH] Networking: Core: netpoll: Fixed a missing spin_unlock
Message-ID<s0qNb-3H7-1@gated-at.bofh.it>
In the case when the loop breaks at line 390, the txq lock is not
released. Added an unlock statement before the break statement.

Your kernel is outdated: __vlan_put_tag has disappeared from net/core/netpoll.c
since 62749e2cb3c4a7da3eaa5c01a7e787aebeff8536 ("vlan: rename __vlan_put_tag to
vlan_insert_tag_set_proto") by Jiri Pirko somewhere in 2014.

It has already been fixed in 3.12.8 as 56399d8b44beae5b80e1eda0350ab6af72baf4d0
("netpoll: Fix missing TXQ unlock and and OOPS.") by davem.

3.12.8 dates back to 2014/01. The current 3.12.x version is 3.12.62.
