From e17c6d77b28c6feab446ad6eaec865e8031ed616 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Saurabh Sengar Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2015 21:00:32 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] um: net: replace GFP_KERNEL with GFP_ATOMIC when spinlock is held since GFP_KERNEL with GFP_ATOMIC while spinlock is held, as code while holding a spinlock should be atomic. GFP_KERNEL may sleep and can cause deadlock, where as GFP_ATOMIC may fail but certainly avoids deadlockdex f70dd54..d898f6c 100644 Signed-off-by: Saurabh Sengar Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger --- arch/um/drivers/net_kern.c | 17 +++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/um/drivers/net_kern.c b/arch/um/drivers/net_kern.c index f70dd540655d..9ef669d24bb2 100644 --- a/arch/um/drivers/net_kern.c +++ b/arch/um/drivers/net_kern.c @@ -388,7 +388,7 @@ static const struct net_device_ops uml_netdev_ops = { static int driver_registered; static void eth_configure(int n, void *init, char *mac, - struct transport *transport) + struct transport *transport, gfp_t gfp_mask) { struct uml_net *device; struct net_device *dev; @@ -397,7 +397,7 @@ static void eth_configure(int n, void *init, char *mac, size = transport->private_size + sizeof(struct uml_net_private); - device = kzalloc(sizeof(*device), GFP_KERNEL); + device = kzalloc(sizeof(*device), gfp_mask); if (device == NULL) { printk(KERN_ERR "eth_configure failed to allocate struct " "uml_net\n"); @@ -568,7 +568,7 @@ static LIST_HEAD(transports); static LIST_HEAD(eth_cmd_line); static int check_transport(struct transport *transport, char *eth, int n, - void **init_out, char **mac_out) + void **init_out, char **mac_out, gfp_t gfp_mask) { int len; @@ -582,7 +582,7 @@ static int check_transport(struct transport *transport, char *eth, int n, else if (*eth != '\0') return 0; - *init_out = kmalloc(transport->setup_size, GFP_KERNEL); + *init_out = kmalloc(transport->setup_size, gfp_mask); if (*init_out == NULL) return 1; @@ -609,11 +609,11 @@ void register_transport(struct transport *new) list_for_each_safe(ele, next, ð_cmd_line) { eth = list_entry(ele, struct eth_init, list); match = check_transport(new, eth->init, eth->index, &init, - &mac); + &mac, GFP_KERNEL); if (!match) continue; else if (init != NULL) { - eth_configure(eth->index, init, mac, new); + eth_configure(eth->index, init, mac, new, GFP_KERNEL); kfree(init); } list_del(ð->list); @@ -631,10 +631,11 @@ static int eth_setup_common(char *str, int index) spin_lock(&transports_lock); list_for_each(ele, &transports) { transport = list_entry(ele, struct transport, list); - if (!check_transport(transport, str, index, &init, &mac)) + if (!check_transport(transport, str, index, &init, + &mac, GFP_ATOMIC)) continue; if (init != NULL) { - eth_configure(index, init, mac, transport); + eth_configure(index, init, mac, transport, GFP_ATOMIC); kfree(init); } found = 1; -- 2.39.5
