wil6210: cfg80211_rx_mgmt to use GFP_ATOMIC
Internally, cfg80211_rx_mgmt() takes lock: spin_lock_bh(&wdev->mgmt_registrations_lock); and therefore one can't use it with GFP_KERNEL allocation flags. When called with GFP_KERNEL, "sleep while atomic" warning triggered: <3>[242645.446224] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/mm/slub.c:926 <3>[242645.455516] in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 18881, name: kworker/u16:0 <6>[242645.462868] CPU: 0 PID: 18881 Comm: kworker/u16:0 Tainted: G O 3.10.40-g619a884-00001-g357fa9c #2 <6>[242645.463044] Workqueue: wil6210_wmi wmi_event_worker [wil6210] <6>[242645.463087] Call trace: <6>[242645.463157] [<ffffffc000087390>] dump_backtrace+0x0/0x144 <6>[242645.463205] [<ffffffc0000874e4>] show_stack+0x10/0x1c <6>[242645.463259] [<ffffffc0009abc04>] dump_stack+0x1c/0x28 <6>[242645.463313] [<ffffffc0000c10c0>] __might_sleep+0xe0/0xf0 <6>[242645.463365] [<ffffffc00015a514>] kmem_cache_alloc+0x48/0x1e4 <6>[242645.463414] [<ffffffc00080d468>] __alloc_skb+0x48/0x164 <6>[242645.463466] [<ffffffc00097f2c4>] nl80211_send_mgmt+0x4c/0x1dc <6>[242645.463511] [<ffffffc000980268>] cfg80211_rx_mgmt+0x1bc/0x25c <6>[242645.463647] [<ffffffbffc005d64>] wmi_evt_rx_mgmt+0x21c/0x23c [wil6210] <6>[242645.463783] [<ffffffbffc0073b8>] wmi_event_worker+0x230/0x2f8 [wil6210] <6>[242645.463838] [<ffffffc0000afffc>] process_one_work+0x258/0x3d0 <6>[242645.463887] [<ffffffc0000b0fe0>] worker_thread+0x1f0/0x310 <6>[242645.463946] [<ffffffc0000b642c>] kthread+0xac/0xb8 Signed-off-by: Vladimir Kondratiev <qca_vkondrat@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
