This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: plip: don't call kfree_skb/dev_kfree_skb() under spin_lock_irq() to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-plip-don-t-call-kfree_skb-dev_kfree_skb-under-sp.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit eaa6b32ada6855946df673d926da18b500859056 Author: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Dec 7 09:53:10 2022 +0800 net: plip: don't call kfree_skb/dev_kfree_skb() under spin_lock_irq() [ Upstream commit 7d8c19bfc8ff3f78e5337107ca9246327fcb6b45 ] It is not allowed to call kfree_skb() or consume_skb() from hardware interrupt context or with interrupts being disabled. So replace kfree_skb/dev_kfree_skb() with dev_kfree_skb_irq() and dev_consume_skb_irq() under spin_lock_irq().
