These allocations are sometimes done under a spin lock so they have to be atomic. The function call tree is: -> update_beacon() <- takes a spin lock -> update_BCNTIM() -> set_tx_beacon_cmd() Fixes: 15865124feed ("staging: r8188eu: introduce new core dir for RTL8188eu driver") Signed-off-by: Michael Straube <straube.linux@xxxxxxxxx> --- v1 -> v2 Added Fixes: tag to commit message. drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c b/drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c index f6ee72d5af09..b7df269e4149 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c +++ b/drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c @@ -8129,13 +8129,13 @@ u8 set_tx_beacon_cmd(struct adapter *padapter) u8 res = _SUCCESS; int len_diff = 0; - ph2c = kzalloc(sizeof(struct cmd_obj), GFP_KERNEL); + ph2c = kzalloc(sizeof(struct cmd_obj), GFP_ATOMIC); if (!ph2c) { res = _FAIL; goto exit; } - ptxBeacon_parm = kzalloc(sizeof(struct Tx_Beacon_param), GFP_KERNEL); + ptxBeacon_parm = kzalloc(sizeof(struct Tx_Beacon_param), GFP_ATOMIC); if (!ptxBeacon_parm) { kfree(ph2c); res = _FAIL; -- 2.32.0
