Subject: [PATCH 10/16] net: ppp: Don't call bpf_prog_create() in ppp_lock

From: Takashi Iwai <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2014 11:50:21 +0100

[ Upstream commit 5748eb8f8e989a9da1ac7c96dc73d68cbdedf7df ]

In ppp_ioctl(), bpf_prog_create() is called inside ppp_lock, which
eventually calls vmalloc() and hits BUG_ON() in vmalloc.c.  This patch
works around the problem by moving the allocation outside the lock.

The bug was revealed by the recent change in net/core/filter.c, as it
allocates via vmalloc() instead of kmalloc() now.
