Subject: [PATCH 5/5] ONLY-APPLY-IF-STILL-FAILING Revert 373c0a7e, 8aa7e847: Fix congestion_wait() sync/async vs read/write confusion
Testing by Frans Pop indicates that in the 2.6.30..2.6.31 window at
least that the commits 373c0a7e 8aa7e847 dramatically increased the
number of GFP_ATOMIC failures that were occuring within a wireless
driver. It was never isolated which of the changes was the exact problem
and it's possible it has been fixed since. If problems are still
occuring with GFP_ATOMIC in 2.6.31-rc5, then this patch should be
applied to determine if the congestion_wait() callers are still broken.
