From 8566dc3fca470454461b161677a5ae3bb3a8c1b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Wed, 7 May 2008 19:51:51 +0400 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Fix sleeping allocation under lock in mesh_path_node_copy. The mesh_path_node_copy() can be called like this: mesh_path_add `- write_lock(&pathtbl_resize_lock); /* ! */ `- mesh_table_grow `- ->copy_node `- mesh_path_node_copy thus, the GFP_KERNEL is not suitable here. The acceptable fix, I suppose, is make this allocation GPF_ATOMIC - the mpath_node being allocated is 4 pointers, i.e. this allocation is small enough to survive even under a moderate memory pressure.
