The driver may sleep under a rcu read lock, and function call path

nfs_permission (acquire the lock by rcu_read_lock)

To fix it, "GFP_KERNEL" is replaced with "GFP_ATOMIC".

The RCU locked codepath will not ever hit nfs_access_add_rbtree(). It
returns with an error code of -ECHILD after the test of "may_block".

Yes, I think you are right.

Thanks,
