Local clients are not properly synchronized on 32-bit CPUs when
updating stats (3.10+). Now it is possible estimation_timer (timer),
a stats reader, to interrupt the local client in the middle of
write_seqcount_{begin,end} sequence leading to loop (DEADLOCK).
The same interrupt can happen from received packet (SoftIRQ)
which updates the same per-CPU stats.
Fix it by disabling BH while updating stats.
Found with debug:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
