Subject: [PATCH] brcmsmac: Use kvmalloc() for ucode allocations
Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2018 08:15:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180913061517.26295-1-tiwai@suse.de> (raw)
The ucode chunk might be relatively large and the allocation with
kmalloc() may fail occasionally. Since the data isn't DMA-transferred
but by manual loops, we can use vmalloc instead of kmalloc.
For a better performance, though, kvmalloc() would be the best choice
in such a case, so let's replace with it.
