Summary

octeontx2-pf: Fix the use of GFP_KERNEL in atomic context on rt

Original description

The description as published by the source.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

octeontx2-pf: Fix the use of GFP_KERNEL in atomic context on rt

The commit 4af1b64f80fb ("octeontx2-pf: Fix lmtst ID used in aura
free") uses the get/put_cpu() to protect the usage of percpu pointer
in ->aura_freeptr() callback, but it also unnecessarily disable the
preemption for the blockable memory allocation. The commit 87b93b678e95
("octeontx2-pf: Avoid use of GFP_KERNEL in atomic context") tried to
fix these sleep inside atomic warnings. But it only fix the one for
the non-rt kernel. For the rt kernel, we still get the similar warnings
like below.
