Subject: skb allocation from interrupt handler?
Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2017 18:17:52 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <598A3890.80705@ti.com> (raw)

Is there an skb_alloc function that can be used from interrupt handler? Looks like netdev_alloc_skb()
can't be used since I see following trace with kernel hack debug options enabled.

[  652.481713] [<c021007c>] (unwind_backtrace) from [<c020bdcc>] (show_stack+0x10/0x14)

This is running under RT kernel off 4.9.y
