Subject: [PATCH] __vmalloc with GFP_ATOMIC causes 'sleeping from invalid context'
X-Git-Tag: v3.12-rc1~32144^2~7^2~38
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=52fd24ca1db3a741f144bbc229beefe044202cac;p=kernel%2Fkernel-generic.git

[PATCH] __vmalloc with GFP_ATOMIC causes 'sleeping from invalid context'

If __vmalloc is called to allocate memory with GFP_ATOMIC in atomic
context, the chain of calls results in __get_vm_area_node allocating memory
for vm_struct with GFP_KERNEL, causing the 'sleeping from invalid context'
warning.  This patch fixes it by passing the gfp flags along so
__get_vm_area_node allocates memory for vm_struct with the same flags.
