Subject: scsi: mpt3sas: Do not use GFP_KERNEL in atomic context
From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit a50bd64616907ed126ffbdbaa06c5ce708c4a404 upstream.
mpt3sas_get_port_by_id() can be called when a spinlock is held. Use
GFP_ATOMIC instead of GFP_KERNEL when allocating memory.
Issue spotted by call_kern.cocci:
