If you mean mc_list_lock - probably nobody - it's not initialized (so the timers) for this in_device and rtnl mutex is preempted by irq. Actually I wonder if lockdep isn't masking (or even spoiling) something, so I'd try with: "Lock debugging: ..." options off (CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK = y CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC = n). Jarek P.
