[PATCH] spi: spi-topcliff-pch: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in pch_spi_handle_dma
From: Jia-Ju Bai
Date: Tue Apr 10 2018 - 05:06:16 EST
pch_spi_handle_dma() is never called in atomic context.
This function is only called by pch_spi_process_messages().
pch_spi_process_messages() is only set as a parameter of INIT_WORK() in
pch_spi_pd_probe().
Despite never getting called from atomic context,
pch_spi_handle_dma() calls kcalloc() 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.
