[PATCH] net: ieee802154: atusb: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in atusb_probe

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

 



atusb_probe() is never called in atomic context.
This function is only set as ".probe" in struct usb_driver.

Despite never getting called from atomic context,
atusb_probe() calls usb_alloc_urb() with GFP_ATOMIC,
which does not sleep for allocation.
GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary and can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL,
which can sleep and improve the possibility of sucessful allocation.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
And I also manually check it.
