    Hi,

    This patch solves a problem which causes my packet machine to hang after
    several hours.
    Whithout this in scc_spint there is the possibility that an sk_buff gets
    send to netif_rx after it is freed.
    This leads to a race condition were a sk_buff is handled by the network
    stack that can get overwritten any second. Symptoms of this bug were that
    programs such as listen, mheard and netromd would cause oopses and
    ultimatly the swapper getting killed.

    Can you send this through to Alan?

    73, Jeroen
