Another one is to just not use GFP_ATOMIC in cpumap.

Allocations in cpumap (related to ptr_ring) should only be possible to be initiated through userspace via bpf-syscall. Thus, there isn't any reason for GFP_ATOMIC here. -- Best regards, Jesper Dangaard Brouer MSc.CS, Principal Kernel Engineer at Red Hat LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/brouer
