Subject: libipw: split ieee->networks into small pieces
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8e59340e4fb65cfd748eaa1e23db057c52520f35;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

libipw: split ieee->networks into small pieces

The ieee->networks consists of 128 struct libipw_network entries. If
we allocate this chunk of memory altogether, it ends up with an
order 4 page allocation. High order page allocation is likely to fail
on system high load. This patch splits the big chunk memory allocation
into small pieces, each is 344 bytes, allocates them with 128 times.

The patch fixed bug http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14989
