[PATCH 2/2] net: ag71xx: Use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC in 'ag71xx_rings_init()'

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

 



There is no need to use GFP_ATOMIC here, GFP_KERNEL should be enough.
The 'kcalloc()' just a few lines above, already uses GFP_KERNEL.

I've done my best to check if a spinlock can be hold when reaching this
code. Apparently it is never the case.
But double check to be sure that it is not the kcalloc that should use
GFP_ATOMIC.
