Subject: [patch] staging: rtl8188eu: use GFP_ATOMIC under spinlock
Date: Tue, 08 Jul 2014 10:54:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140708105423.GA19737@mwanda> (raw)

We're holding a spinlock here so we can't do sleeping allocations.
The call tree is:
  rtw_sta_flush() <-- takes spin_lock_bh(&pstapriv->asoc_list_lock);
  --> ap_free_sta()
      --> rtw_clearstakey_cmd()

Originally these calls were rtw_zmalloc() and then we switched them to
kzalloc() in fadbe0cd5292 ('staging: rtl8188eu:Remove rtw_zmalloc(),
wrapper for kzalloc()') and that made the bugs show up for my static
checker.  The original code was buggy as well but my static checker
couldn't parse it.
