From 60df54f8e6bb2c375a9d21f16c9d3983206709e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christophe JAILLET Date: Sun, 20 Feb 2022 09:23:15 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC when possible Previous memory allocations in this function already use GFP_KERNEL, so use __dev_alloc_skb() and an explicit GFP_KERNEL instead of an implicit GFP_ATOMIC. This gives more opportunities of successful allocation.
