Subject[PATCH 4.20 05/57] staging: rtl8188eu: Fix module loading from tasklet for WEP encryption
Date
4.20-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net>

commit 7775665aadc48a562051834a73519129bf717d73 upstream.

Commit 2b2ea09e74a5 ("staging:r8188eu: Use lib80211 to decrypt WEP-frames")
causes scheduling while atomic bugs followed by a hard freeze whenever
the driver tries to connect to a WEP-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.
