[PATCH net v6] usbnet: fix smp_processor_id() use in preemptible context
From: Ömer Mete Kaya
Date: Sun Oct 04 2026 - 18:00:27 EST
tx_complete() calls this_cpu_ptr() before disabling preemption, which
triggers a BUG when running with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible code in tx_complete
Fix by using get_cpu_ptr()/put_cpu_ptr() which disable preemption and
return the per-CPU pointer atomically. The usbnet_skb_return() hunk
is a hardening change: that path runs in softirq context so no warning
fires there, but the same fix is applied for consistency.
Fixes: ed194d136769 ("usb: core: remove local_irq_save() around ->complete() handler")

v6: Fix commit message and Fixes tag as pointed out by Sashiko:
- BUG is in tx_complete(), not usbnet_skb_return()
- usbnet_skb_return() hunk is hardening, not a fix
- CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT, not PREEMPT_FULL
- Fixes tag updated to ed194d136769
