From 11ad1a938c14698c46aed0fde84d83471b09dce2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Thu, 5 May 2022 23:04:22 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211_hwsim: call ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb under RCU protection [ Upstream commit 9e2db50f1ef2238fc2f71c5de1c0418b7a5b0ea2 ] This is needed since it might use (and pass out) pointers to e.g. keys protected by RCU. Can't really happen here as the frames aren't encrypted, but we need to still adhere to the rules.
