From 730bd83b036e72b0134352ca27e76ea08475fbf1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Sun, 10 Oct 2010 18:52:10 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: don't kmalloc 16 bytes Since this small buffer isn't used for DMA, we can simply allocate it on the stack, it just needs to be 16 bytes of which only 8 will be used for WEP40 keys.
