[PATCH] mac80211: Use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC when possible

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

 



Previous memory allocations in this function already use GFP_KERNEL, so
use __dev_alloc_skb() and an explicit GFP_KERNEL instead of an implicit
GFP_ATOMIC.

This gives more opportunities of successful allocation.
