Title
net_sched: gen_estimator: fix est_timer() vs CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y
Summary
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.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
