xen: xen-pciback: Replace GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_KERNEL in pcistub_init_device
pcistub_init_device() is never called in atomic context. The call chain ending up at pcistub_init_device() is: [1] pcistub_init_device() <- pcistub_seize() <- pcistub_probe() [2] pcistub_init_device() <- pcistub_init_devices_late() <- xen_pcibk_init() pcistub_probe() is only set as ".probe" in struct pci_driver. xen_pcibk_init() is is only set as a parameter of module_init(). These functions are not called in atomic context. Despite never getting called from atomic context, pcistub_init_device() calls kzalloc() 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.
