Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix using smp_processor_id() in preemptible code in ieee80211_tx_control_port()
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 09:40:47 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260910041047.24437-1-kartikey406@gmail.com> (raw)

ieee80211_tx_control_port() can be called from nl80211_tx_control_port()
in normal process context via netlink sendmsg(), where BH/preemption
is not disabled. dev_sw_netstats_tx_add() uses this_cpu_ptr() internally,
which requires preemption to be disabled, triggering a
"BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible code" warning.

Fix this by moving the local_bh_disable()/local_bh_enable() section to
also cover dev_sw_netstats_tx_add() and ieee80211_tpt_led_trig_tx().

Fixes: d5a014204a3b ("wifi: mac80211: tx: simplify control port frame transmission")
