From 0edfad5959df7379c9e554fbe8ba264ae232d321 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sowmini Varadhan Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2015 10:30:41 -0400 Subject: sparc: Use GFP_ATOMIC in ldc_alloc_exp_dring() as it can be called in softirq context Since it is possible for vnet_event_napi to end up doing vnet_control_pkt_engine -> ... -> vnet_send_attr -> vnet_port_alloc_tx_ring -> ldc_alloc_exp_dring -> kzalloc() (i.e., in softirq context), kzalloc() should be called with GFP_ATOMIC from ldc_alloc_exp_dring.
