From cc5cd5079699c7831fdc58e74352736706c3df3c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jia-Ju Bai Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2018 23:03:36 +0800 Subject: xen: xen-pciback: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in pcistub_probe pcistub_probe() is never called in atomic context. This function is only set as ".probe" in struct pci_driver. Despite never getting called from atomic context, pcistub_probe() calls kmalloc() 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.
