It is possible to avoid the atomic operation in icmp{v6,}_xmit_lock,
by checking the sysctl_icmp_msgs_per_sec ratelimit before these calls,
as pointed out by Eric Dumazet, but the BH disabled state must be correct.
The icmp_global_allow() call states it must be called with BH
disabled. This protection was given by the calls icmp_xmit_lock and
icmpv6_xmit_lock. Thus, split out local_bh_disable/enable from these
functions and maintain it explicitly at callers.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
