Subject: [PATCH 1/3] infiniband: i40iw: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in i40iw_add_mqh_4
Date:   Wed, 11 Apr 2018 15:32:25 +0800
Message-Id: <1523431945-3508-1-git-send-email-baijiaju1990@gmail.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

i40iw_add_mqh_4() is never called in atomic context, because it 
calls rtnl_lock() that can sleep.

Despite never getting called from atomic context,
i40iw_add_mqh_4() calls kzalloc() 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.
