[PATCH] hv: Fix unnecessary sleeping in hv_synic_alloc

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The kzalloc function is called with GFP_ATOMIC.
But according to driver call graph, it is not in atomic context,
namely no spinlock is held nor in an interrupt handler.

This GFP_ATOMIC is unnecessary, and replace with GFP_KERNEL.
