Subject[PATCH] block/drbd: Fix a sleep-in-atomic bug in drbd_bcast_event
Date
The driver may sleep under a RCU lock, and the function call path is:
drbd_sync_handshake (acquire the RCU lock)
drbd_asb_recover_1p
drbd_khelper
drbd_bcast_event
genlmsg_new(GFP_NOIO) --> may sleep

To fix it, GFP_NOIO is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC.
This bug is found by my static analysis tool and my code review.
