Subject: [PATCH] net: dccp: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in dccp_init
Date:   Mon,  9 Apr 2018 22:10:04 +0800
Message-Id: <1523283004-25581-1-git-send-email-baijiaju1990@gmail.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

dccp_init() is never called in atomic context.
This function is only set as a parameter of module_init().

Despite never getting called from atomic context,
dccp_init() calls __get_free_pages() 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.
And I also manually check it.
