Out of the three callers once insists on the scratch buffer, and the others are fine with a new allocation. Switch those two to just use pci_alloc_consistent directly, and open code the scratch buffer allocation in the remaining one. This avoids a case where we might be doing a memory allocation under a spinlock with irqs disabled. [mkp: typo] Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Martin K.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
