[PATCH stable-4.9] dmaengine: iota: ioat_alloc_chan_resources should not perform sleeping allocations.

[PATCH stable-4.9] dmaengine: iota: ioat_alloc_chan_resources should not perform sleeping allocations.

[Krister Johansen]

commit 21d25f6a4217e755906cb548b55ddab39d0e88b9 upstream.

On a kernel with DEBUG_LOCKS, ioat_free_chan_resources triggers an
in_interrupt() warning.  With PROVE_LOCKING, it reports detecting a
SOFTIRQ-safe to SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock ordering in the same code path.

This is because dma_generic_alloc_coherent() checks if the GFP flags
permit blocking.  It allocates from different subsystems if blocking is
permitted.  The free path knows how to return the memory to the correct
allocator.  If GFP_KERNEL is specified then the alloc and free end up
going through cma_alloc(), which uses mutexes.

Given that ioat_free_chan_resources() can be called in interrupt
context, ioat_alloc_chan_resources() must specify GFP_NOWAIT so that the
allocations do not block and instead use an allocator that uses
spinlocks.

This is another commit that I've had on my 4.7-4.9 branches but forgot
to CC stable when I submitted the patch to the maintainer's tree.
Apologies for the oversight on my part.
