From 2a8af420e7a58485bc5052c16c3d51913163e0fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hariprasad Kelam Date: Wed, 22 May 2019 22:35:30 +0530 Subject: staging: unisys: visornic: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL As per below information GFP_KERNEL FLAG This is a normal allocation and might block. This is the flag to use in process context code when it is safe to sleep. GFP_ATOMIC FLAG The allocation is high-priority and does not sleep. This is the flag to use in interrupt handlers, bottom halves and other situations where you cannot sleep And we can take advantage of GFP_KERNEL , as when system is in low memory chances of getting success is high compared to GFP_ATOMIC. As visornic_probe is in process context we can use GPF_KERNEL.
