ipoib_mcast_alloc is called only in atomic context, hence removing the extra check.
Signed-off-by: Saurabh Sengar <saurabh.tr...@gmail.com> --- Hi, Even if in future, if there are some functions expected to call it in normal context(not atomic), we can pass the GFP_KERNEL or GFP_ATOMIC directly to function call instead of passing 0 and 1, which later again need to be compared in order to change it to GFP_KERNEL and GFP_ATOMIC. Please let me know if there are better ways to improve it. drivers/infiniband/ulp/ipoib/ipoib_multicast.c | 11 +++++------ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/infiniband/ulp/ipoib/ipoib_multicast.c b/drivers/infiniband/ulp/ipoib/ipoib_multicast.c index d750a86..15d35be 100644 --- a/drivers/infiniband/ulp/ipoib/ipoib_multicast.c +++ b/drivers/infiniband/ulp/ipoib/ipoib_multicast.c @@ -132,12 +132,11 @@ void ipoib_mcast_free(struct ipoib_mcast *mcast) kfree(mcast); } -static struct ipoib_mcast *ipoib_mcast_alloc(struct net_device *dev, - int can_sleep) +static struct ipoib_mcast *ipoib_mcast_alloc(struct net_device *dev) { struct ipoib_mcast *mcast; - mcast = kzalloc(sizeof *mcast, can_sleep ?
