ieee80211_ccmp_init() is never called in atomic context. ieee80211_ccmp_init() is only set as ".init" in struct ieee80211_crypto_ops. The call chains ending up at "->init" function are: [1] ->init() <- ieee80211_wpa_set_encryption() <- ieee80211_wpa_supplicant_ioctl() [2] ->init() <- ieee80211_wx_set_encode_ext_rsl() <- r8192_wx_set_enc_ext() [3] ->init() <- ieee80211_wx_set_encode_rsl() <- r8192_wx_set_enc() ieee80211_wpa_supplicant_ioctl(), r8192_wx_set_enc_ext() and r8192_wx_set_enc() call mutex_lock(), which indicates these functions are not called in atomic context. Despite never getting called from atomic context, ieee80211_ccmp_init() calls kzalloc() with GFP_ATOMIC, which does not sleep for allocation. GFP_ATOMIC is not necessary and can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL, which can sleep and improve the possibility of sucessful allocation. This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself. And I also manually check it.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
