[PATCH 5.9 200/757] staging: rtl8192u: Do not use GFP_KERNEL in atomic context
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Oct 27 2020 - 11:59:03 EST
From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit acac75bb451fd39344eb54fad6602dfc9482e970 ]
'rtl8192_irq_rx_tasklet()' is a tasklet initialized in
'rtl8192_init_priv_task()'.
>From this function it is possible to allocate some memory with the
GFP_KERNEL flag, which is not allowed in the atomic context of a tasklet.
Use GFP_ATOMIC instead.
The call chain is:
rtl8192_irq_rx_tasklet (in r8192U_core.c)
--> rtl8192_rx_nomal (in r8192U_core.c)
--> ieee80211_rx (in ieee80211/ieee80211_rx.c)
--> RxReorderIndicatePacket (in ieee80211/ieee80211_rx.c)
Fixes: 79a5ccd97209 ("staging: rtl8192u: fix large frame size compiler warning")
