There is no need to use GFP_ATOMIC when calling 'usb_alloc_coherent()'
here. These calls are done from probe functions and using GFP_KERNEL should
be safe.
The memory itself is used within some interrupts, but it is not a
problem, once it has been allocated.

the kernel style is usually:
 kbd->new = usb_alloc_coherent(dev, 8, GFP_ATOMIC, &kbd->new_dma);
 if (!kbd->new)
	return -1;


in usbmouse.c this is done, any reason for the change here ?

If you want to be extra-correct, don't return -1, return -ENOMEM.

thanks,

Hi, (and sorry if you receive this email twice. I've used a web mail

Searching with coccinelle with:
*   x = usb_alloc_coherent(..., <+... GFP_KERNEL ...+>, ...);
finds 67 files,

whereas:
*   x = usb_alloc_coherent(..., <+... GFP_ATOMIC ...+>, ...);
only finds 11 files.

No real reason in fact, just to be consistent with surrounding code.

Unless some allocations are done within a spin_lock/spin_unlock, using 
both GFP_KERNEL and GFP_ATOMIC in the same function looks spurious to me.
Either there is a bug (GFP_KERNEL should be GFP_ATOMIC), or a useless 
constraint is given to the memory allocator.
