From 11d83360452ea2a95e699da01f8e1bcc4676a5de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Rientjes Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2015 15:48:21 -0700 Subject: mm, mempool: do not allow atomic resizing Allocating a large number of elements in atomic context could quickly deplete memory reserves, so just disallow atomic resizing entirely. Nothing currently uses mempool_resize() with anything other than GFP_KERNEL, so convert existing callers to drop the gfp_mask.
