Subject: [PATCH] crypto: cavium: nitrox: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in crypto_alloc_context()
Date:   Mon, 23 Jul 2018 16:14:26 +0800
Message-Id: <20180723081426.31780-1-baijiaju1990@gmail.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

crypto_alloc_context() is only called by nitrox_skcipher_init(), which is
never called in atomic context.

crypto_alloc_context() calls dma_pool_alloc() with GFP_ATOMIC,
which is not necessary.
GFP_ATOMIC can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
I also manually check the kernel code before reporting it.
