There is no need to use GFP_ATOMIC to allocate 'req'. GFP_KERNEL should be enough and is already used for another allocation juste a few lines below.

But double check to be sure that it is not the kmalloc that should use GFP_ATOMIC. --- drivers/usb/host/xhci-dbgtty.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/usb/host/xhci-dbgtty.c b/drivers/usb/host/xhci-dbgtty.c index 845939f8a0b8..be726c791323 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/host/xhci-dbgtty.c +++ b/drivers/usb/host/xhci-dbgtty.c @@ -139,7 +139,7 @@ xhci_dbc_alloc_requests(struct dbc_ep *dep, struct list_head *head, struct dbc_request *req; for (i = 0; i < DBC_QUEUE_SIZE; i++) { - req = dbc_alloc_request(dep, GFP_ATOMIC); + req = dbc_alloc_request(dep, GFP_KERNEL); if (!req) break; -- 2.20.1
