From 60ecd86c4d985750efa0ea3d8610972b09951715 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Hon Ching \\(Vicky\\) Lo" Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2015 20:11:51 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] vTPM: fix memory allocation flag for rtce buffer at kernel boot At ibm vtpm initialzation, tpm_ibmvtpm_probe() registers its interrupt handler, ibmvtpm_interrupt, which calls ibmvtpm_crq_process to allocate memory for rtce buffer. The current code uses 'GFP_KERNEL' as the type of kernel memory allocation, which resulted a warning at kernel/lockdep.c. This patch uses 'GFP_ATOMIC' instead so that the allocation is high-priority and does not sleep.
