rtl8188eu kernel panic with preempt_rt kernel 5.10

[erichyc7035]

Hi,

Is anyone tried to run the driver within Kernel 5.10 with preempt_rt patched?
I met kernel panic as below:

I'm not sure if it's related to kernel 5.10 or due to preempt_rt patch.
Please someone help to check.

Thanks.

You are using driver r8188eu. That means it comes from the kernel, not this repo. You need to report this problem at [email protected]. If you blacklist r8188eu, install the driver from this repo, and still get the error, then I can look at it.
