From ea05c8444e451f1cfbf78c68733e717ad7b8602b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dima Zavin Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2010 14:21:54 -0700 Subject: mm: add a might_sleep_if() to dma_pool_alloc() Buggy drivers (e.g. fsl_udc) could call dma_pool_alloc from atomic context with GFP_KERNEL. In most instances, the first pool_alloc_page call would succeed and the sleeping functions would never be called. This allowed the buggy drivers to slip through the cracks. Add a might_sleep_if() checking for __GFP_WAIT in flags.
