From 6e1d8d1470b2c9335715f7d52e864f0bd91a5f59 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jia-Ju Bai Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 21:54:19 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] net: wireless: b43legacy: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in dma_tx_fragment dma_tx_fragment() is never called in atomic context. dma_tx_fragment() is only called by b43legacy_dma_tx(), which is only called by b43legacy_tx_work(). b43legacy_tx_work() is only set a parameter of INIT_WORK() in b43legacy_wireless_init(). Despite never getting called from atomic context, dma_tx_fragment() calls alloc_skb() 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.
