[PATCH] crypto: virtio: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in __virtio_crypto_ablkcipher_do_req()

From: Jia-Ju Bai
Date: Mon Jul 23 2018 - 04:44:05 EST


__virtio_crypto_ablkcipher_do_req() is never called in atomic context.

__virtio_crypto_ablkcipher_do_req() is only called by
virtio_crypto_ablkcipher_crypt_req(), which is only called by
virtcrypto_find_vqs() that is never called in atomic context.

__virtio_crypto_ablkcipher_do_req() calls kzalloc_node() with GFP_ATOMIC,
which is not necessary.
GFP_ATOMIC can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.
I also manually check the kernel code before reporting it.
