From a7959c1394d4126a70a53b914ce4105f5173d0aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Larry Finger Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2012 15:44:31 -0500 Subject: rtlwifi: Preallocate USB read buffers and eliminate kalloc in read routine The current version of rtlwifi for USB operations uses kmalloc to acquire a 32-bit buffer for each read of the device. When _usb_read_sync() is called with the rcu_lock held, the result is a "sleeping function called from invalid context" BUG. This is reported for two cases in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42775. The first case has the lock originating from within rtlwifi and could be fixed by rearranging the locking; however, the second originates from within mac80211. The kmalloc() call is removed from _usb_read_sync() by creating a ring buffer pointer in the private area and allocating the buffer data in the probe routine.
