# \[PATCH\] dmaengine: xilinx\_dma: Alloc tx descriptors GFP\_NOWAIT - From: Richard Fitzgerald \ - Date: 2021-01-29 17:09:58 - List: linux-arm-kernel - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-arm-kernel/2021/01/6251840 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/dmaengine/2021/01/6251840/t.md ```text Use GFP_NOWAIT allocation in xilinx_dma_alloc_tx_descriptor(). This is necessary for compatibility with ALSA, which calls dmaengine_prep_dma_cyclic() from an atomic context.
