The problem is that we call this with a spin lock held.
The call tree is:
pvcalls_front_accept() holds bedata->socket_lock.
-> create_active()
-> __get_free_pages() uses GFP_KERNEL
The create_active() function is only called from pvcalls_front_accept()
with a spin_lock held, The allocation is not allowed to sleep and
GFP_KERNEL is not sufficient.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
v2: Add a function doing the allocations which is called
outside the lock and passing the allocated data to
create_active().
v3: Use the matching deallocators i.e., free_page()
and free_pages(), respectively.
v4: It would be better to pre-populate map (struct sock_mapping),
rather than introducing one more new struct.
v5: Since allocating the data outside of this call it should also
be freed outside, when create_active() fails.
Move kzalloc(sizeof(*map2), GFP_ATOMIC) outside spinlock and
use GFP_KERNEL instead.
v6: Drop the superfluous calls.
