Krister Johansen 21d25f6a42 dmaengine: iota: ioat_alloc_chan_resources should not perform sleeping allocations.
On a kernel with DEBUG_LOCKS, ioat_free_chan_resources triggers an
in_interrupt() warning.  With PROVE_LOCKING, it reports detecting a
SOFTIRQ-safe to SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock ordering in the same code path.

This is because dma_generic_alloc_coherent() checks if the GFP flags
permit blocking.  It allocates from different subsystems if blocking is
permitted.  The free path knows how to return the memory to the correct
allocator.  If GFP_KERNEL is specified then the alloc and free end up
going through cma_alloc(), which uses mutexes.

Given that ioat_free_chan_resources() can be called in interrupt
context, ioat_alloc_chan_resources() must specify GFP_NOWAIT so that the
allocations do not block and instead use an allocator that uses
spinlocks.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
