[PATCH resend 3/3] rtlwifi: rtl8723be: don't call kfree_skb() under spin_lock_irqsave()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It is not allowed to call kfree_skb() from hardware interrupt
context or with interrupts being disabled. So add all skb to
a free list, then free them after spin_unlock_irqrestore() at
once.
