Subject: [PATCH] net: sun: cassini: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in cas_check_invariants
Date:   Wed, 11 Apr 2018 10:34:39 +0800
Message-Id: <1523414079-2452-1-git-send-email-baijiaju1990@gmail.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

cas_check_invariants() is never called in atomic context.

cas_check_invariants() is only called by cas_init_one(), which is 
only set as ".probe" in struct pci_driver.

Despite never getting called from atomic context,
cas_check_invariants() calls alloc_pages() 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.
