Subject: [PATCH] atm: firestream: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in fs_send
Date:   Fri, 26 Jan 2018 16:00:27 +0800
Message-Id: <1516953627-30983-1-git-send-email-baijiaju1990@gmail.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

After checking all possible call chains to fs_send() here,
my tool finds that fs_send() is never called in atomic context.
And this function is assigned to a function pointer "dev->ops->send",
which is only called by vcc_sendmsg() (net/atm/common.c)
through vcc->dev->ops->send(), and vcc_sendmsg() calls schedule(),
it indicates that fs_send() can call functions which may sleep.
Thus GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary, and it can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
