# \[PATCH net 09/14\] can: skb: make CAN skb allocation failure paths IRQ-safe - From: Marc Kleine-Budde \ - Date: 2026-08-26 12:10:48 - List: netdev - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/netdev/2026/08/17464329 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/netdev/2026/08/17464352/t.md ```text From: Cunhao Lu The CAN skb allocation helpers are used from hardware interrupt receive handlers. If can_skb_ext_add() fails, they release the newly allocated skb with kfree_skb(), which is not safe in hardware interrupt context. Use dev_kfree_skb_any() for the allocation failure paths in alloc_can_skb(), alloc_canfd_skb(), and alloc_canxl_skb().
