[PATCH 4.19 043/321] net/fq_impl: Switch to kvmalloc() for memory allocation

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

 



From: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 71e67c3bd127cfe7863f54e4b087eba1cc8f9a7a ]

The FQ implementation used by mac80211 allocates memory using kmalloc(),
which can fail; and Johannes reported that this actually happens in
practice.

To avoid this, switch the allocation to kvmalloc() instead; this also
brings fq_impl in line with all the FQ qdiscs.

Fixes: 557fc4a09803 ("fq: add fair queuing framework")
