Subject: [PATCH] bugfix GFP_KERNEL -> GFP_ATOMIC in spin_locked region
In a few files a function such as usb_submit_urb is taking GFP_KERNEL
as an argument whereas this function call is inside a
spin_lock_irqsave region of code. Documentation says that it must be
GFP_ATOMIC instead.
Me and my colleagues have made a tool targeting program
transformations in device drivers. We have designed a scripting
language for specifying easily program transformations and a
transformation engine for performing them. In the spirit of Linux
development practice, the language is based on the patch syntax. We
call our scripts "semantic patches" because as opposed to traditional
patches, our semantic patches do not work at the line level but on a
high level representation of the C program.
FYI here is our semantic patch detecting invalid use of GFP_KERNEL and
fixing the problem:
@@
identifier fn;
@@
spin_lock_irqsave(...)
... when != spin_unlock_irqrestore(...)
fn(...,
- GFP_KERNEL
+ GFP_ATOMIC
,...
)
And now the real patch resulting from the automated transformation:
