Subject: [PATCH] sound: soc: intel: bxt_rt298: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in broxton_audio_probe
Date:   Mon,  9 Apr 2018 18:47:07 +0800
Message-Id: <1523270827-22735-1-git-send-email-baijiaju1990@gmail.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

broxton_audio_probe() is never called in atomic context.
This function is only set as ".probe" in "struct platform_driver".

Despite never getting called from atomic context,
broxton_audio_probe() calls devm_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 and improve the possibility of sucessful allocation.

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