Date: Wed, 2 Jan 2019 20:12:46 -0600 From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@...inger.net> To: gregkh@...uxfoundation.org Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, devel@...verdev.osuosl.org, Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@...inger.net>, Stable <stable@...r.kernel.org>, Ivan Safonov <insafonov@...il.com> Subject: [PATCH 1/2] staging: rtl8188eu: Fix module loading from tasklet for CCMP encryption Commit 6bd082af7e36 ("staging:r8188eu: use lib80211 CCMP decrypt") causes scheduling while atomic bugs followed by a hard freeze whenever the driver tries to connect to a CCMP-encrypted network. Experimentation showed that the freezes were eliminated when module lib80211 was preloaded, which can be forced by calling lib80211_get_crypto_ops() directly rather than indirectly through try_then_request_module(). With this change, no BUG messages are logged.
