From 1f618aac2f00d3d9a4942cda14b8c33d28a11840 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jia-Ju Bai Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 20:37:59 +0800 Subject: scsi: st: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in st_probe st_probe() is never called in atomic context. st_probe() is only set as ".probe" in struct scsi_driver. Despite never getting called from atomic context, st_probe() 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. Signed-off-by: Jia-Ju Bai Signed-off-by: Martin K.
