Subject: [PATCH] [2.6.29-rc2] orinoco: use GFP_ATOMIC in kmalloc in
orinoco_ioctl_set_genie
From: Andrey Borzenkov <[email protected]>
kmalloc is called with interrupt disabled and may not sleep. This
fixes this BUG:

Just FYI, the best way to indicate is to add a line like this after
your Signed-off-by:
Cc: [email protected]
I'll take care of this one.

OK.
This looks like -stable candidate.

Subject: [PATCH] orinoco: move kmalloc(..., GFP_KERNEL) outside spinlock in
orinoco_ioctl_set_genie
From: Andrey Borzenkov <[email protected]>
As pointed out by Pavel Roskin, it need not be in critical section. Move
it outside of spinlock. This fixes this BUG:

Please move kmalloc before the lock. I don't see any reason to allocate
memory with irqs disabled. The contention happens later, when
priv->wpa_ie is freed and assigned a new value.
