From: Thomas Meyer <thomas@xxxxxxxx> Find functions that refer to GFP_KERNEL but are called with locks held. The proposed change of converting the GFP_KERNEL is not necessarily the correct one. It may be desired to unlock the lock, or to not call the function under the lock in the first place. The semantic patch that makes this output is available in scripts/coccinelle/locks/call_kern.cocci. More information about semantic patching is available at http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/ Signed-off-by: Thomas Meyer <thomas@xxxxxxxx> --- __lpfc_set_rrq_active: This function is called with hbalock held and interrupts disabled. diff -u -p a/drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c b/drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c --- a/drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c 2011-07-30 21:45:25.982285760 +0200 +++ b/drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c 2011-08-02 10:10:20.333918852 +0200 @@ -557,7 +557,7 @@ __lpfc_set_rrq_active(struct lpfc_hba *p if (test_and_set_bit(xritag, ndlp->active_rrqs.xri_bitmap)) goto out; - rrq = mempool_alloc(phba->rrq_pool, GFP_KERNEL); + rrq = mempool_alloc(phba->rrq_pool, GFP_ATOMIC); if (rrq) { rrq->send_rrq = send_rrq; rrq->xritag = xritag; -- 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
