Drivers typically expect this, as it's the case for almost all cases where this is called (i.e. from the TX path). Also, the code in mac80211 itself (if the driver calls ieee80211_tx_dequeue()) expects this as it uses this_cpu_ptr() without additional protection. This should fix various reports of the problem: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204127 https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/CAN5HydrWb3o_FE6A1XDnP1E+xS66d5kiEuhHfiGKkLNQokx13Q@mail.gmail.com/ https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/nycvar.YFH.7.76.1909111238470.473@cbobk.fhfr.pm/ Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-and-tested-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Reported-by: Aaron Hill <aa1ronham@gmail.com> Reported-by: Lukas Redlinger <rel+kernel@agilox.net> Reported-by: Oleksii Shevchuk <alxchk@gmail.com> Fixes: 21a5d4c3a45c ("mac80211: add stop/start logic for software TXQs") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1569928763-I3e8838c5ecad878e59d4a94eb069a90f6641461a@changeid Reviewed-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
