[rds-devel] [PATCH net-next] rds: do not call ->conn_alloc with GFP_KERNEL

[Sowmini Varadhan]

Commit ebeeb1ad9b8a ("rds: tcp: use rds_destroy_pending() to synchronize
netns/module teardown and rds connection/workq management") adds an
rcu read critical section to __rds_conn_create. The memory allocations
in that critcal section need to use GFP_ATOMIC to avoid sleeping.

This patch was verified with syzkaller reproducer.
