From 71e67c3bd127cfe7863f54e4b087eba1cc8f9a7a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Toke=20H=C3=B8iland-J=C3=B8rgensen?= Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2019 16:57:50 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net/fq_impl: Switch to kvmalloc() for memory allocation MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The FQ implementation used by mac80211 allocates memory using kmalloc(), which can fail; and Johannes reported that this actually happens in practice. To avoid this, switch the allocation to kvmalloc() instead; this also brings fq_impl in line with all the FQ qdiscs.
