Subject: nl80211: Make nl80211_send_mlme_event() atomic
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d91c01c757bd9659ac10549504586fae610265a4;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

nl80211: Make nl80211_send_mlme_event() atomic

One of the code paths sending deauth/disassoc events ends up calling
this function with rcu_read_lock held, so we must use GFP_ATOMIC in
allocation routines.
