With the ath9k driver, I get "skbuff alloc of size 3872 failed" I hit this again today after not using wireless for quite sometime. It looks like it was originally reported against 2.6.35-rc1. Eric Dumazet provided a patch which fixed the issue, but apparently it's still not upstream. Why is this? If it is suitable for upstream inclusion, please take my Tested-by: Matt Turner<mattst88@xxxxxxxxx> https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/104271/
I applied this patch and it seems to work fine, but there were some questions by Eric in the patchwork thread that should probably be answered by ath9k folks. For instance: IEEE80211_MAX_MPDU_LEN being 3840 + somebits is suspect, since it doesnt match 802.11 specs. It should be more close of 2304 + MAC header (32bytes) + FCS (4 bytes) ? Eric: If the patch is fine as is, and if you are too busy to submit it, I can do so with your Signed-off-by if you want.
