pcistub_init_device() is never called in atomic context. The call chain ending up at pcistub_init_device() is: [1] pcistub_init_device() <- pcistub_seize() <- pcistub_probe() [2] pcistub_init_device() <- pcistub_init_devices_late() <- xen_pcibk_init() pcistub_probe() is only set as ".probe" in struct pci_driver. xen_pcibk_init() is is only set as a parameter of module_init(). These functions are not called in atomic context. Despite never getting called from atomic context, pcistub_init_device() 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 ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
