Subject: [ath9k-devel] tx99 memory allocate failure

Hi,

I'm having some issues running the tx99 features of the ath9k driver.
Seems like every time I try to run it, I get this:
sh: write error: cannot allocate memory.

After some poking, I found it's returning -ENOMEN in tx99.c.
Which is due to !sc-tx99_skb
Which on it's turn is due to an empty value for sc->tx99_vif.

So essentially, it's going wrong in ath9k_build_tx99_skb and returns NULL when checking:
if (!sc->tx99_vif) {
    return NULL;
}

Anybody some ideas on what the actual root cause can be of this and/or how to solve it?

Kernel version: 4.1.0

Thanks & Kr

Mathieu
