IB/ehca: Use proper GFP_ flags for get_zeroed_page()
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. Signed-off-by Hoang-Nam Nguyen <hnguyen@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
