Commit b83b8b1881c4 ("staging:r8188eu: Use lib80211 to support TKIP") is causing 2 problems for me: 1) One boot the wifi on a laptop with a r8188eu wifi device would not connect and dmesg contained an oops about scheduling while atomic pointing to the tkip code. This went away after reverting the commit. 2) I reverted the revert to try and get the oops from 1. again to be able to add it to this commit message. But now the system did connect to the wifi only to print a whole bunch of oopses, followed by a hardfreeze a few seconds later. Subsequent reboots also all lead to scenario 2. Until I reverted the commit again. Revert the commit fixes both issues making the laptop usable again.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
