pch_spi_handle_dma() is never called in atomic context.
This function is only called by pch_spi_process_messages().
pch_spi_process_messages() is only set as a parameter of INIT_WORK() in
pch_spi_pd_probe().
Despite never getting called from atomic context,
pch_spi_handle_dma() calls kcalloc() 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.

1.9.1
The patch
spi: spi-topcliff-pch: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in pch_spi_handle_dma
has been applied to the spi tree at
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git
All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.
You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.
If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.
Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.
Thanks,
Mark
