From 62289ba27558553871fd047baadaaeda886c6a63 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "sudarsana.kalluru@cavium.com" Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2017 03:19:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] qed: Fix possible system hang in the dcbnl-getdcbx() path. qed_dcbnl_get_dcbx() API uses kmalloc in GFT_KERNEL mode. The API gets invoked in the interrupt context by qed_dcbnl_getdcbx callback. Need to invoke this kmalloc in atomic mode.
