Message-Id: <cover.1632551759.git.christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> Date: Sat, 25 Sep 2021 08:45:51 +0200 From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr> To: jejb@...ux.ibm.com, martin.petersen@...cle.com, sathya.prakash@...adcom.com, sreekanth.reddy@...adcom.com, suganath-prabu.subramani@...adcom.com Cc: MPT-FusionLinux.pdl@...adcom.com, linux-scsi@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, kernel-janitors@...r.kernel.org, Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr> Subject: [PATCH 0/1] scsi: mptctl: Remove usage of the deprecated "pci-dma-compat.h" API This cover letter is only there to draw attention on the fact that I'm a bit unsure about the use of GFP_KERNEL in 'kbuf_alloc_2_sgl()'. In all conversion that I've done, GFP_USER was never used. I don't fully understand the difference between GFP_USER and GFP_KERNEL. So please review with care. For the 3 other functions, I'm much more confident. I've put the explanation of why I think that GFP_KERNEL is safe in patch 1/1. Basically, these functions already call some functions that can sleep.
