Or Gerlitz fed06ee89b net/mlx5e: Disable preemption when doing TC statistics upcall
When called by HW offloading drivers, the TC action (e.g
net/sched/act_mirred.c) code uses this_cpu logic, e.g

 _bstats_cpu_update(this_cpu_ptr(a->cpu_bstats), bytes, packets)

per the kernel documention, preemption should be disabled, add that.

Before the fix, when running with CONFIG_PREEMPT set, we get a

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: tc/3793

asserion from the TC action (mirred) stats_update callback.

Fixes: aad7e08d39 ('net/mlx5e: Hardware offloaded flower filter statistics support')

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
