From 1662591b2e6876b8bc041cd48837ccd297c2028f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Takashi Iwai Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2012 15:55:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: pcm - Avoid GFP_ATOMIC in snd_pcm_link() GFP_ATOMIC is used in snd_pcm_link() just because the kmalloc is called inside a lock. Since this function isn't too critical for speed and is rarely called in practice, better to allocate the chunk at first before spinlock and free it in error paths, so that GFP_KERNEL can be used.
