The function lpfc_poll_timeout() is a timer handler that runs in an
atomic context, but it calls "kzalloc(.., GFP_KERNEL)" that may sleep.
As a result, the sleep-in-atomic-context bug will happen. The processes
is shown below:
lpfc_poll_timeout()
lpfc_sli_handle_fast_ring_event()
lpfc_sli_process_unsol_iocb()
lpfc_complete_unsol_iocb()
lpfc_nvme_unsol_ls_handler()
lpfc_nvme_handle_lsreq()
nvme_fc_rcv_ls_req()
kzalloc(sizeof(.., GFP_KERNEL) //may sleep
This patch changes the gfp_t parameter of kzalloc() from GFP_KERNEL to
GFP_ATOMIC in order to mitigate the bug.
