From c112d0c5b89037dd618083b5fdf4bb36b0c51d77 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2008 03:35:30 -0800 Subject: ath9k: Use GFP_ATOMIC when allocating TX private area Using GFP_KERNEL was wrong and produces a 'scheduling while atomic' bug as we're in a tasklet. Also, check for proper return values now, in case allocation fails and be sure to stop the TX queue in case of memory issues but gaurantee the TX queue will eventually be woken up.
