[ 09/37] USB: kaweth.c: use GFP_ATOMIC under spin_lock

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Thu Aug 16 2012 - 23:33:12 EST


3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit e4c7f259c5be99dcfc3d98f913590663b0305bf8 ]

The problem is that we call this with a spin lock held. The call tree
is:
kaweth_start_xmit() holds kaweth->device_lock.
-> kaweth_async_set_rx_mode()
-> kaweth_control()
-> kaweth_internal_control_msg()

The kaweth_internal_control_msg() function is only called from
kaweth_control() which used GFP_ATOMIC for its allocations.
