The patch titled Subject: ia64: mca: allocate early mca with GFP_ATOMIC has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ia64-mca-allocate-early-mca-with-gfp_atomic.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Sergei Trofimovich <slyfox@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: ia64: mca: allocate early mca with GFP_ATOMIC The sleep warning happens at early boot right at secondary CPU activation bootup: smp: Bringing up secondary CPUs ...

There is little chance to sleep and switch to GFP_ATOMIC should be a no-op.
