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

Subject: staging: r8188eu: use GFP_ATOMIC under spinlock

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()
