In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net_sched: gen_estimator: fix est_timer() vs CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y
syzbot reported a WARNING in est_timer() [1]
Problem here is that with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y, timer callbacks
can be preempted.
Adopt preempt_disable_nested()/preempt_enable_nested() to fix this.
