From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Aug 23 2018 - 04:51:02 EST


4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Denis Kenzior <denkenz@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit e7441c9274a6a5453e06f4c2b8b5f72eca0a3f17 ]

On pre-emption enabled kernels the following print was being seen due to
missing local_bh_disable/local_bh_enable calls. mac80211 assumes that
pre-emption is disabled in the data path.

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: iwd/517
caller is __ieee80211_subif_start_xmit+0x144/0x210 [mac80211]
[...]
Call Trace:
dump_stack+0x5c/0x80
check_preemption_disabled.cold.0+0x46/0x51
__ieee80211_subif_start_xmit+0x144/0x210 [mac80211]
