Subject[PATCH] usb: xhci: fix call_kern.cocci warnings
Message-ID<u9AIW-P3-7@gated-at.bofh.it>
GFP_KERNEL used when a lock is held.  Convert to GFP_ATOMIC to avoid
the possibility of deadlock.

I don't have access to any more of the context than what is shown so I
don't know if this is a real bug.

You may want to see if it is instead possible to pull the call out of the
lock.
