Re: 3.11-rc7:BUG: soft lockup

[Baoquan He]

Hi Tianhong,

I applied your patch and execute below cmd. 
Then keyboard inputting problems happened, 
I can't enter user/password correctly, then reboot again, it's OK now.

The original bug still can't be reproduced.

make SUBDIRS=net/bridge/netfilter/
cp /net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.ko
/lib/modules/3.11.0-rc7+/kernel/net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.ko
depmod
modprobe ebtables.ko
reboot

Baoquan
Thanks
