From d91c01c757bd9659ac10549504586fae610265a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jouni Malinen Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2009 21:53:15 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] nl80211: Make nl80211_send_mlme_event() atomic One of the code paths sending deauth/disassoc events ends up calling this function with rcu_read_lock held, so we must use GFP_ATOMIC in allocation routines.
