Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] staging: r8188eu: Use kzalloc() with GFP_ATOMIC in atomic context
Date: Tue,  8 Feb 2022 19:04:26 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220208180426.27455-3-fmdefrancesco@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220208180426.27455-1-fmdefrancesco@gmail.com>

Use the GFP_ATOMIC flag of kzalloc() with two memory allocation in rtw_set_key() 
because it is not allowed to sleep while it executes in atomic context.

With the GFP_ATOMIC type flag, the allocation is high priority and thus it 
cannot sleep.

This issue is detected by Smatch which emits the following warning:

"drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_mlme.c:1603 rtw_set_key() warn: sleeping in atomic context".

Fixes: 79f712ea994d ("staging: r8188eu: Remove wrappers for kalloc() and kzalloc()")
Fixes: 15865124feed ("staging: r8188eu: introduce new core dir for RTL8188eu driver")
