Subject: [PATCH] net: usb: hso: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in hso_create_device
Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 22:35:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1523370924-32425-1-git-send-email-baijiaju1990@gmail.com> (raw)
hso_create_device() is never called in atomic context.
The call chains ending up at hso_create_device() are:
[1] hso_create_device() <- hso_create_bulk_serial_device() <- hso_probe()
[2] hso_create_device() <- hso_create_mux_serial_device() <- hso_probe()
[3] hso_create_device() <- hso_create_net_device() <- hso_probe()
hso_probe() is set as ".probe" in struct usb_driver,
so it is not called in atomic context.
Despite never getting called from atomic context,
hso_create_device() calls kzalloc() 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.
