From 82edcc758f273ed3afd308746dd69376d5b1024d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jia-Ju Bai Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 21:17:29 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ntb: ntb_transport: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in ntb_transport_setup_qp_mw ntb_transport_setup_qp_mw() is never called in atomic context. ntb_transport_setup_qp_mw() is only called by ntb_transport_link_work(), which is set as a parameter of INIT_DELAYED_WORK() in ntb_transport_probe(). Despite never getting called from atomic context, ntb_transport_setup_qp_mw() calls kzalloc_node() with GFP_ATOMIC, which does not sleep for allocation. GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary and can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL, which can sleep 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.
