Subject: [PATCH 1/4][MAC80211]: Fix GFP_KERNEL allocation under read lock.
Date: Tue, 06 May 2008 18:46:36 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <48206F4C.5050105@openvz.org> (raw)

The mesh_path_add() read-locks the pathtbl_resize_lock and calls
kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL mask.

Fix it and move the endadd2 label lower. It should be _before_ the
if() beyond, but it makes no sense for it being there, so I move it
right after this if().
