[PATCH 4.19 086/118] dmaengine: imx-sdma: use GFP_NOWAIT for dma descriptor allocations

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Dec 11 2018 - 10:57:26 EST


4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Lucas Stach <l.stach@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 64068853bc77786d1a28abb4087d6a3e93aedbe2 upstream.

DMA buffer descriptors aren't allocated from atomic context, so they
can use the less heavyweigth GFP_NOWAIT.
