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.
