[etherlab-dev] [PATCH] Fix kmalloc while holding read lock on dev_base_lock

[Esben Haabendal]

Hi

Using the ec_generic driver on a standard (ie. non RT_PREEMPT) 2.6.32
kernel BUGs out on the kmalloc in ec_gen_init_module().
It might be that this happens to work on UP RT_PREEMPT kernels, but
AFAIK, kmalloc while holdning rwlock should be GFP_ATOMIC.
