It must be sleepable context as it's a standard platform driver probe callback. And now looking at grep output, only sound/soc/intel contains so many calls with GFP_ATOMIC. I bet that almost all can be done with GFP_KERNEL, maybe only one or two in atom/sst would be conditionally with GFP_ATOMIC. thanks, Takashi _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
