This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

staging: r8188eu: use GFP_ATOMIC under spinlock

to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

In function rtw_report_sec_ie() kzalloc() is called under a spinlock, so the allocation have to be atomic.

Call tree:

-> rtw_select_and_join_from_scanned_queue() <- takes a spinlock -> rtw_joinbss_cmd() -> rtw_restruct_sec_ie() -> rtw_report_sec_ie()
