This is called with spinlocks held so we have to use GFP_ATOMIC. It's the sc_pcu_lock in ath9k_stop() that's the issue. The call tree looks like this: ath9k_stop() ath_prepare_reset() ath_stoprecv() ath_flushrecv() ath_rx_tasklet() ath9k_dfs_process_phyerr() pd->add_pulse() => dpd_add_pulse() channel_detector_get() channel_detector_create() pri_detector_init() channel_detector_create() uses GFP_ATOMIC as well.
