Subject: [PATCH 2/2] pci: host: pci-hyperv: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in new_pcichild_device
Date:   Sun, 18 Mar 2018 22:53:28 +0800
Message-Id: <1521384808-23627-1-git-send-email-baijiaju1990@gmail.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

new_pcichild_device() is not called in atomic context.

The call chain ending up at new_pcichild_device() is:
[1] new_pcichild_device() <- pci_devices_present_work()
pci_devices_present_work() is only set in INIT_WORK().

Despite never getting called from atomic context,
new_pcichild_device() calls kzalloc with GFP_ATOMIC,
which waits busily for allocation.
GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary and can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL
to avoid busy waiting.

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