#1662814 — [PATCH] goldfish_pipe: allocate memory with GFP_ATOMIC in spinlock context

FromAlexey Khoroshilov <khoroshilov@ispras.ru>
Date2017-06-10 01:20 +0200
Subject[PATCH] goldfish_pipe: allocate memory with GFP_ATOMIC in spinlock context
Message-ID<tQBm9-7M4-13@gated-at.bofh.it>
get_free_pipe_id_locked() is called with spinlock held, so
the patch replaces GFP_KERNEL with GFP_ATOMIC to avoid
sleeping in atomic spinlock context.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
