Though netlink_broadcast() has allocation flag which can specify memory allocation type (ex. GFP_KERNEL/GFP_ATOMIC), netlink_unicast() does not have it. This can cause "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at" with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP enabled kernel when calling netlink_unicast() inside RCU read-side section and not in IRQ. Though currently such a use case was not found, to solve potential issue we will add an allocation flag to netlink_unicast(). Previously netlink_unicast() have used gfp_any() as a flag. We replaced it to GFP_KERNEL or GFP_ATOMIC or etc by guessing based on context. If we could not determine the value, we remain it gfp_any(). We welcome comments like "this gfp_any() should be GFP_KERNEL". Of course other comments are welcome as well. This series of patches are not tested. This is a RFC because this does not fix existing issue.
