Subject: [PATCH v2] net: decnet: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in dn_route_init
Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 09:15:40 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1523322940-27892-1-git-send-email-baijiaju1990@gmail.com> (raw)
dn_route_init() is never called in atomic context.
The call chain ending up at dn_route_init() is:
[1] dn_route_init() <- decnet_init()
decnet_init() is only set as a parameter of module_init().
Despite never getting called from atomic context,
dn_route_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.
