From 21224c63d8ac7f8de937d1ce3772cf4b155dffcc 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 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.
