linuxkpi: GFP_KERNEL equals M_NOWAIT now
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
... instead of `M_WAITOK`.

[Why]
The reason is that in some places in the DRM drivers (in particular, the
framebuffer management code), kmalloc() is called from a non-sleepable
context, such as after a call to mtx_lock(8) with an MTX_DEF mutex.

If `GFP_KERNEL` is defined as `M_WAITOK`, we hit an assertion from
witness(4).

[How]
The definition of `GFP_KERNEL` is changed to `M_NOWAIT`. This means that
callers should verify the return value of kmalloc(). Fortunately, this
is always the case in Linux.
