This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: apple: bmac: don't call dev_kfree_skb() under spin_lock_irqsave() to the 6.1-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-apple-bmac-don-t-call-dev_kfree_skb-under-spin_l.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 94f1e92aad7d9c256b0d4ca00e56915f3cfa4013 Author: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Dec 8 21:37:35 2022 +0800 net: apple: bmac: don't call dev_kfree_skb() under spin_lock_irqsave() [ Upstream commit 5fe02e046e6422c4adfdbc50206ec7186077da24 ] It is not allowed to call kfree_skb() or consume_skb() from hardware interrupt context or with hardware interrupts being disabled. It should use dev_kfree_skb_irq() or dev_consume_skb_irq() instead. The difference between them is free reason, dev_kfree_skb_irq() means the SKB is dropped in error and dev_consume_skb_irq() means the SKB is consumed in normal. In this case, dev_kfree_skb() is called in bmac_tx_timeout() to drop the SKB, when tx timeout, so replace it with dev_kfree_skb_irq().
