[PATCH] mwifiex: add __GFP_REPEAT to skb allocation call

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



"single skb allocation failure" happens when system is under heavy
memory pressure.  Add __GFP_REPEAT to skb allocation call so kernel
attempts to reclaim pages and retry the allocation.
