It's quite sad that this uses GFP_ATOMIC. Because GFP_ATOMIC is quite unreliable. Is it just not possible to use GFP_KERNEL here? If _any_ of the callers of this function could have used GFP_KERNEL then we could at least pass the gfp_t into this function to allow it to use the stronger form where it can do so. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
