Commit2b2ea09e74("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.

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.
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.
