If netconsole is in use, there is a possibility for deadlock in 3c59x between boomerang_interrupt and boomerang_start_xmit. Both routines take the vp->lock, and if netconsole is in use, a pr_* call from the boomerang_interrupt routine will result in the netconsole code attempting to trnasmit an skb, which can try to take the same spin lock, resulting in deadlock. The fix is pretty straightforward. This patch allocats a bit in the 3c59x private structure to indicate that its handling an interrupt. If we get into the transmit routine and that bit is set, we can be sure that we have recursed and will deadlock if we continue, so instead we just return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, so the stack requeues the skb to try again later.
