drivers/gpu/drm/drm_syncobj.c:202:4-14: ERROR: function 
drm_syncobj_find_signal_pt_for_point called on line 390 inside lock on line 389 
but uses GFP_KERNEL

  Find functions that refer to GFP_KERNEL but are called with locks held.

Semantic patch information:
  The proposed change of converting the GFP_KERNEL is not necessarily the
  correct one.  It may be desired to unlock the lock, or to not call the
  function under the lock in the first place.

The issue appears to be real and the patch looks sane. Chunming Zhou, do you 
want to fix it like this, or preallocate
a fence obj? If former, just ack. :)

Well, wait a second with that advise1

The problem here is that userspace (indirectly) controls when this allocation is made. So what you could do is to construct some code to force the kernel into doing a *lot* of GFP_ATOMIC allocations.

And when the kernel runs out of GFP_ATOMIC space, then well bad things start to happen :)

Christian.
