[PATCH] block: drbd: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in drbd_resync_finished
From: Jia-Ju Bai
Date: Fri Jan 26 2018 - 09:39:54 EST
After checking all possible call chains to drbd_resync_finished(),
my tool finds that this function is never called in atomic context,
namely never in an interrupt handler or holding a spinlock.
And it calls schedule_timeout_interruptible() before kmalloc(),
so it indicates that drbd_resync_finished()
can call function which can sleep.
Thus GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary, and it can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL.
This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
