IB/ehca: Use proper GFP_ flags for get_zeroed_page()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Here is a patch for ehca to use proper flag, ie. GFP_ATOMIC
resp. GFP_KERNEL, when calling get_zeroed_page() to prevent "Bug:
scheduling while atomic...". This error does not cause a kernel panic
but makes ipoib un-usable afterwards.  It is reproducible on
2.6.20-rc4 if one does ifconfig down during a flood ping test.  I have
not observed this error in earlier releases incl. 2.6.20-rc1.

This error occurs when a qp event/irq is received and ehca event
handler allocates a control block/page to obtain HCA error data block.
Use of GFP_ATOMIC when in interrupt context prevents this issue.
