mainlining shenanigans
c4369575b2
A recent patch which added an 'unlocked' version of rxe_alloc introduced a
bug causing kzalloc(..., GFP_KERNEL) to be called while holding a spin
lock. This patch corrects that error.
rxe_alloc_nl() should always be called while holding the pool->pool_lock
so the 2nd argument to kzalloc there should be GFP_ATOMIC.
rxe_alloc() prior to the change only locked the code around checking that
pool->state is RXE_POOL_STATE_VALID to avoid races between working threads
and a thread shutting down the rxe driver. This patch reverts rxe_alloc()
to this behavior so the lock is not held when kzalloc() is called.

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.
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.
