From 3f1e6d3fd37bd4f25e5b19f1c7ca21850426c33f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Sun, 11 Dec 2011 23:42:53 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] sch_gred: should not use GFP_KERNEL while holding a spinlock gred_change_vq() is called under sch_tree_lock(sch). This means a spinlock is held, and we are not allowed to sleep in this context. We might pre-allocate memory using GFP_KERNEL before taking spinlock, but this is not suitable for stable material.
