From 15ac2b08a2fd0f4aacbe8ae39788252fea6fbe63 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xander Hover Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2011 16:40:31 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] b44: Use dev_kfree_skb_irq() in b44_tx() Reported issues when using dev_kfree_skb() on UP systems and systems with low numbers of cores. dev_kfree_skb_irq() will properly save IRQ state before freeing the skb.
