[PATCH net-next] net/ncsi: Avoid GFP_KERNEL in response handler

From: Samuel Mendoza-Jonas
Date: Thu May 31 2018 - 03:03:25 EST


ncsi_rsp_handler_gc() allocates the filter arrays using GFP_KERNEL in
softirq context, causing the below backtrace. This allocation is only a
few dozen bytes during probing so allocate with GFP_ATOMIC instead.
