It was changed to GFP_ATOMIC in commit ec2f0577c (add & use virtio_gpu_queue_fenced_ctrl_buffer) because the allocation happened with a spinlock held. That was no longer true after commit 9fdd90c0f (add virtio_gpu_alloc_fence()).

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.
