This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled wifi: rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: don't call kfree_skb() under spin_lock_irqsave() to the 6.2-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: wifi-rtlwifi-rtl8821ae-don-t-call-kfree_skb-under-sp.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.2 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 18d642d915e290002ee854ff0d8a9f71d5cce568 Author: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Dec 7 22:14:09 2022 +0800 wifi: rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: don't call kfree_skb() under spin_lock_irqsave() [ Upstream commit 106031c1f4a850915190d7ec1026696282f9359b ] It is not allowed to call kfree_skb() from hardware interrupt context or with interrupts being disabled. All the SKBs have been dequeued from the old queue, so it's safe to enqueue these SKBs to a free queue, then free them after spin_unlock_irqrestore() at once. Compile tested only.
