Jia-Ju Bai bcba80f38a fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmdebug.c: fix a sleep-in-atomic-context bug in dlm_print_one_mle()
[ Upstream commit 999865764f ]

The kernel module may sleep with holding a spinlock.

The function call paths (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.16 are:

[FUNC] get_zeroed_page(GFP_NOFS)
fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmdebug.c, 332: get_zeroed_page in dlm_print_one_mle
fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c, 240: dlm_print_one_mle in __dlm_put_mle
fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c, 255: __dlm_put_mle in dlm_put_mle
fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c, 254: spin_lock in dlm_put_ml

[FUNC] get_zeroed_page(GFP_NOFS)
fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmdebug.c, 332: get_zeroed_page in dlm_print_one_mle
fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c, 240: dlm_print_one_mle in __dlm_put_mle
fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c, 222: __dlm_put_mle in dlm_put_mle_inuse
fs/ocfs2/dlm/dlmmaster.c, 219: spin_lock in dlm_put_mle_inuse

To fix this bug, GFP_NOFS is replaced with GFP_ATOMIC.

This bug is found by my static analysis tool DSAC.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
