From b6ea03562f04382776ad825624daefe27f5d3f9c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Copeland Date: Sat, 10 Jan 2009 14:42:54 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ath5k: fix bf->skb==NULL panic in ath5k_tasklet_rx Under memory pressure, we may not be able to allocate a new skb for new packets. If the allocation fails, ath5k_tasklet_rx will exit but will leave a buffer in the list with a NULL skb, eventually triggering a BUG_ON. Extract the skb allocation from ath5k_rxbuf_setup() and change the tasklet to allocate the next skb before accepting a packet.
