From df648c9fbebb4de50e7a6e76cc253c7cb0421f9b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2008 19:00:18 +0200 Subject: rework try_then_request_module to do less in non-modular kernels This reworks try_then_request_module to only invoke the "lookup" function "x" once when the kernel is not modular.

GFP_ATOMIC is needed only when we can't sleep. and, GFP_KERNEL is robust and better. thus, I add gfp_mask argument to call_usermodehelper_setup(). So, its callers pass the gfp_t as below: call_usermodehelper() and call_usermodehelper_keys(): depend on 'wait' argument. call_usermodehelper_pipe(): always GFP_KERNEL because always run under process context. orderly_poweroff(): pass to GFP_ATOMIC because may run under interrupt context.
