At the fs/dlm/netlink.c#dlm_timeout_warn(),
prepare_data allocates buffer with GFP_NOFS
and send_data() sends the buffer.

But send_data() uses GFP_KERNEL or GFP_ATOMIC inside it.
Should it be replaced by GFP_NOFS ?

That's old code that's never been used so it doesn't really matter.

I see. Thank you.
