Subject: [PATCH resend 1/3] rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: don't call kfree_skb() under spin_lock_irqsave()
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.
The patch doesn't change logic, so it should work. But, I would like to know
if there is a comment about this in kernel code. Could you point it out?
You can see comment of dev_kfree_skb_irq() in include/linux/netdevice.h
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/include/linux/netdevice.h?h=v6.1-rc8
Thanks,
Yang
