From 1aa3b3e0cbdb32439f04842e88fc7557a0777660 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jia-Ju Bai Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2018 22:31:19 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] fs: quota: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in dquot_init dquot_init() is never called in atomic context. This function is only set as a parameter of fs_initcall(). Despite never getting called from atomic context, dquot_init() calls __get_free_pages() with GFP_ATOMIC, which waits busily for allocation. GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary and can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL, to avoid busy waiting and improve the possibility of sucessful allocation. This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself. And I also manually check it.
