[PATCH] staging: wilc1000: Avoid GFP_KERNEL allocation from atomic context

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

 



From: Adham Abozaeid <adham.abozaeid@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

txq_add_mgmt_pkt allocates memory while being called from atomic context
so needs to use GFP_ATOMIC
