[PATCH] drivers/message/i2o/device.c: remove redundant GFP_ATOMICfrom kmalloc

From: Satyam Sharma
Date: Fri May 04 2007 - 09:32:01 EST


drivers/message/i2o/device.c:i2o_parm_field_get() unnecessarily passes GFP_ATOMIC (along with GFP_KERNEL) to kmalloc() from a context that is not atomic. Remove the pointless GFP_ATOMIC.
