[PATCH 4.15 006/146] mac80211_hwsim: dont use WQ_MEM_RECLAIM

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Mar 13 2018 - 11:28:11 EST


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

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

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

commit ce162bfbc0b601841886965baba14877127c7c7c upstream.

We're obviously not part of a memory reclaim path, so don't set the flag.

This also causes a warning in check_flush_dependency() since we end up
in a code path that flushes a non-reclaim workqueue, and we shouldn't do
that if we were really part of reclaim.
