ntb: ntb_transport: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in ntb_transport_create_queue
ntb_transport_create_queue() is never called in atomic context. ntb_transport_create_queue() is only called by ntb_netdev_probe(), which is set as ".probe" in struct ntb_transport_client. Despite never getting called from atomic context, ntb_transport_create_queue() calls kzalloc_node() with GFP_ATOMIC, which does not sleep for allocation. GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary and can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL, which can sleep and improve the possibility of sucessful allocation. This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself. And I also manually check it Signed-off-by: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Mason <jdmason@kudzu.us>
