From 3a2f020c5a93a88aa09adbe56dde43463324930a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Timur Tabi Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2008 10:43:38 -0500 Subject: [POWERPC] Make rheap safe for spinlocks The rheap allocation function, rh_alloc, could call kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL. This can sleep, which means you couldn't hold a spinlock while called rh_alloc. Change all kmalloc calls to use GFP_ATOMIC so that it won't sleep. This is safe because only small blocks are allocated.
