staging: r8188eu: Use kzalloc() with GFP_ATOMIC in atomic context
Use the GFP_ATOMIC flag of kzalloc() with two memory allocation in report_del_sta_event(). This function is called while holding spinlocks, therefore it is not allowed to sleep. With the GFP_ATOMIC type flag, the allocation is high priority and must not sleep. This issue is detected by Smatch which emits the following warning: "drivers/staging/r8188eu/core/rtw_mlme_ext.c:6848 report_del_sta_event() warn: sleeping in atomic context". After the change, the post-commit hook output the following message: "CHECK: Prefer kzalloc(sizeof(*pcmd_obj)...) over kzalloc(sizeof(struct cmd_obj)...)". According to the above "CHECK", use the preferred style in the first kzalloc(). Fixes: 79f712ea ("staging: r8188eu: Remove wrappers for kalloc() and kzalloc()") Fixes: 15865124 ("staging: r8188eu: introduce new core dir for RTL8188eu driver") Signed-off-by: Fabio M.
