The __qdisc_run function in net/sched/sch_generic.c in the Linux kernel
before 2.6.25 on SMP machines allows local users to cause a denial of
service (soft lockup) by sending a large amount of network traffic, as
demonstrated by multiple simultaneous invocations of the Netperf benchmark
application in UDP_STREAM mode.
