From f0e6ce13c17afd74a49e0ef043d72581562f73ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Senthil Balasubramanian Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2009 11:24:08 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: Get rid of unnecessary ATOMIC memory alloc during init time We can sleep for memory during init time and so allocating rx buffers, descriptro buffers with GFP_KERNEL should help us to get rid of transient alloc fails.
