Hi Greg,
2.6.31-rc8 build fails with
drivers/staging/rtl8192su/r8192U_core.c:5086: error: implicit declaration of function 'vmalloc'
drivers/staging/rtl8192su/r8192U_core.c:5086: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size
drivers/staging/rtl8192su/r8192U_core.c: In function 'rtl8192_usb_disconnect':
drivers/staging/rtl8192su/r8192U_core.c:12308: error: implicit declaration of function 'vfree'
Including the vmalloc.h file, fixes the build failure. I have tested the
patch for build failure only.

This should all be resolved in the linux-next tree, right?
