[PATCH] drm: fix call_kern.cocci warnings (fwd)

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Wed Oct 24 2018 - 14:57:34 EST


The containing function is called with a spin_lock held, so GFP_KERNEL
can't be used.

drivers/gpu/drm/drm_syncobj.c:202:4-14: ERROR: function drm_syncobj_find_signal_pt_for_point called on line 390 inside lock on line 389 but uses GFP_KERNEL

Find functions that refer to GFP_KERNEL but are called with locks held.

Semantic patch information:
The proposed change of converting the GFP_KERNEL is not necessarily the
correct one. It may be desired to unlock the lock, or to not call the
function under the lock in the first place.
