If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 2896d81e0b2bc0406719fca40379cfe77c941b79 Author: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Dec 7 23:04:53 2022 +0800 wifi: wl3501_cs: don't call kfree_skb() under spin_lock_irqsave() [ Upstream commit 44bacbdf9066c590423259dbd6d520baac99c1a8 ] It is not allowed to call kfree_skb() from hardware interrupt context or with interrupts being disabled. So replace kfree_skb() with dev_kfree_skb_irq() under spin_lock_irqsave(). Compile tested only.
