From 97b715b62e5b4c6edb75d023f556fd09a46cb4e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wei Yongjun Date: Sat, 26 May 2018 09:45:59 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] misc: ibmvmc: Use GFP_ATOMIC under spin lock The function alloc_dma_buffer() is called from ibmvmc_add_buffer(), in which a spin lock be held here, so we should use GFP_ATOMIC when a lock is held.
