From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> The other calls to kmalloc in the same function use GFP_ATOMIC, and indeed two locks are held within the body of the function. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ identifier f; @@ *f(...,GFP_ATOMIC,...) ... when != spin_unlock(...) when != read_unlock(...) when != write_unlock(...) when != read_unlock_irq(...) when != write_unlock_irq(...) when != read_unlock_irqrestore(...) when != write_unlock_irqrestore(...) when != spin_unlock_irq(...) when != spin_unlock_irqrestore(...) *f(...,GFP_KERNEL,...) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- net/rose/rose_route.c | 4 +++- 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/rose/rose_route.c b/net/rose/rose_route.c index cbc244a..b4fdaac 100644 --- a/net/rose/rose_route.c +++ b/net/rose/rose_route.c @@ -109,7 +109,9 @@ static int __must_check rose_add_node(struct rose_route_struct *rose_route, init_timer(&rose_neigh->t0timer); if (rose_route->ndigis != 0) { - if ((rose_neigh->digipeat = kmalloc(sizeof(ax25_digi), GFP_KERNEL)) == NULL) { + rose_neigh->digipeat = + kmalloc(sizeof(ax25_digi), GFP_ATOMIC); + if (rose_neigh->digipeat == NULL) { kfree(rose_neigh); res = -ENOMEM; goto out; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
