sfc: Allocate DMA and event rings using GFP_KERNEL
Currently we allocate DMA descriptor rings and event rings using pci_alloc_consistent() which selects non-blocking behaviour from the page allocator (GFP_ATOMIC). This is unnecessary, and since we currently allocate a single contiguous block for each ring (up to 32 pages!) these allocations are likely to fail if there is any significant memory pressure. Use dma_alloc_coherent() and GFP_KERNEL instead. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
