Subject: [PATCH v2] net: dccp: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in dccp_init
Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 09:14:58 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1523322898-27833-1-git-send-email-baijiaju1990@gmail.com> (raw)
dccp_init() is never called in atomic context.
This function is only set as a parameter of module_init().
Despite never getting called from atomic context,
dccp_init() calls __get_free_pages() 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.

Thank Eric for good advice.
