If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit e45d30f32ce1fe75f2989747bafcd2dba6268e62 Author: Jinjie Ruan <ruanjinjie@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Aug 24 14:43:36 2023 +0800 net: arcnet: Do not call kfree_skb() under local_irq_disable() [ Upstream commit 786c96e92fb9e854cb8b0cb7399bb2fb28e15c4b ] It is not allowed to call kfree_skb() from hardware interrupt context or with hardware interrupts being disabled. So replace kfree_skb() with dev_kfree_skb_irq() under local_irq_disable(). Compile tested only.
