From 8bf4039e3e19fbc238da32f7be75805047d98bed 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.
