    Subject[PATCH 3.14 21/76] vTPM: fix memory allocation flag for rtce buffer at kernel boot
    Date
    3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Hon Ching \(Vicky\) Lo <honclo@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

    commit 60ecd86c4d985750efa0ea3d8610972b09951715 upstream.

    At ibm vtpm initialzation, tpm_ibmvtpm_probe() registers its interrupt
    handler, ibmvtpm_interrupt, which calls ibmvtpm_crq_process to allocate
    memory for rtce buffer. The current code uses 'GFP_KERNEL' as the
    type of kernel memory allocation, which resulted a warning at
    kernel/lockdep.c. This patch uses 'GFP_ATOMIC' instead so that the
    allocation is high-priority and does not sleep.
